I'll drive all night ...Minimizes the felt time traveling for the kids and wife. They sleep the whole way usually. But we're a relatively young family still.
When our family was young I enjoyed the night driving. Less traffic, less pitstops (folks needing to go)...we end up in Florida at Grandparents in the early AM, sometimes before they even awoke for the day...I would then crash, and the rest of the family would hop in the pool! That was pre-trailer, though.
Now we are empty nesters, so we travel a little less in a day, but depends on what we are doing and where we are going. Trying to figure out my next trip to Maine to visit my son. I want to drive and stop at LL Bean for the night, will arrive around 3AM, and it is open 24/7, mainly for the fun of it, but want to have some options along the way in case my excitement can't carry me through, will be working the morning before we head out.
