Home Sweet Home
We just returned from a week long trip visiting the relatives. It was an 11-hour drive each way so I was a bit nervous to see how Kiddo would do.
He did great.
On the way there we drove much of the night and then slept in the car for a few hours before completing the last bit across the border. While Kiddo didn't love sleeping in his car seat, he did sleep quite well in our arms! =)
He took the change in schedule, unfamiliar surroundings, and many new faces right in stride. He charmed everyone, including his own parents.
He even made the mostly day trip home in good spirits; especially if someone was sitting next to him in the back seat.
I am glad to be back and on a bit more normal schedule, but we had a wonderful time and truly enjoyed all the relatives!

It is stressful to drive that long with a little one! We did it with Sir O at 4 months and he did OK. We're going to try again at 13 months and I'm afraid it will be worse this time. As they get older they seem to realize they have a choice as to whether or not to "go with the flow"....confound it!
Wow, I bet that is true! Good luck with that trip! Our next long one will be next month, but I don't think it will be too bad as it is many days of driving but only 3-4 hrs a day.
