Details

A few details about our cross-country trek ... I do think the 3 1/2 years of training really paid off! By which I mean, this past few years of traveling every weekend and also making a number of trips from Michigan to visit family in Delaware ... The girls were really fantastic, and Owen did a lot better than we'd even anticipated. He really does not like to be confined to that carseat, but he seemed to adapt to about 4-hour stretches before needing a break. We also discovered that if we pushed on for a few extra hours each night after the kids fell asleep in the car, we could make some good time and gain that many more miles before stopping for the night!

And yes, all this without a dvd player in the car! (I know, we're positively archaic!)
