If you ever get a chance to drive 16 hours with a 5 and 3 year old...pass...its about as much fun as it sounds.
I keep saying we should try to drive because it would be so much cheaper than 5 airline tickets, but...when we can barely make it on a 1 1/2 hour trip to our summer cottage in WI, DH looks at me and says, "And you think you want to drive to FL?"I know he's right, we'd never make it. I think it's about 20 hrs. from here and our kids are 10, 7, and 4. Guess we'll stick with flying for now. Glad to hear you made it OK. Now relax and enjoy!!
