I won't lie to you. We are a little nervous about the time in the car. To tell you the truth none of our girls have ever been particularly good riders - not at any age. Emily Grace really dislikes the infant seat, she just seems to be uncomfortable much of the time. The older girls do better but after a while it is always a challenge.
We have a few strategies. First we will go about six hours on the first leg, not the whole 11 to 12 hours.
Secondly, we are planning to leave on the first and second leg at about 2:30 PM. Emily Grace's regular nap time is about 2:00 PM so we are hoping to get two or three hours of sleep time in the beginning; but as always with toddlers you just never know.
Thirdly, my genius wife read about a ridding plan that we both really like. Each girl begins with a ticket (sticky note) for each projected hour of travel stuck their window. Every hour or so mom will say, "OK, pull ticket number two (or whatever)." The girls then turn in the ticket for a prize.
Above are some of the prizes. Don't get excited, most of it came from the dollar store, but we hope it will keep them at least a little occupied.
