We don't have skinkids but do have 2 boxer furkids. They sleep on the couch when we're on the road. ;)
It seems we average just under 50mph from leaving in the mornings, rest stops, fuel stops and lunch and that's driving 62-65mph on interstates.
The kids will adapt. My parents drug 3 of us cross country several times and we were mashed into the car with them and sometimes a grandmother. Most of the time we did "drive throughs". We would drive through a national park and maybe stop at an overlook. Sometimes, we fly by the sign and say there it is. There is so much to see in our beautiful country even if it's just seeing it out the window as you drive past.
BUT... those are wonderful memories and the time spent with my siblings and parents then are treasured now... maybe not so much then. ;)
