Thanks spoon, really appreciate it.
What was too long for the 4 month old? The drive?
We just had our first and he will be 5 months in March...
Yea, I was afraid of the long drive. We are coming from a little closer than you will, the DC area. When it was me and the bride we would drive about 500 miles in a day, then stop for the night, then drive the final 400 miles or so. It would be 8 or 9 hours on the road per day, plus gas breaks (small 26 gallon tank in the Tundra) plus bathroom breaks.
This year we are breaking it up even more. Going to drive about 4 or 5 hours the first day and stop. Then we are going to drive 3 or 4 more hours and stop for 2 nights in Savannah on the way down. After stopping in Savannah we are going to drive the final 5 or 6 hours straight into Bradenton for a week. On the way home we are stopping in Charleston for 2 or 3 nights. Depending on how everything else goes we are planning to drive straight back home from Charleston. Worst case scenario we break up that final leg and stop somewhere in NC again on the way home.
