Our family is pretty well air-traveled. The kids (and the adults) know the drill when it comes to long flights, short flights and really long flights, too.\u00a0 We’ve dealt with jet lag, canceled flights, lost luggage, broken DVD players, airsickness and more. We’ve also had lots of beautiful trips where everything has gone right.<\/p>\n

(If you are interested, here’s a link to several other articles I’ve written with tips and checklists for traveling with kids.<\/a>..)<\/em><\/p>\n

But now we are preparing to embark on a journey we haven’t attempted since our first was nearly 2 and our second was 4 months… the great American road trip<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And since I know there are tons of well-traveled moms out there with good advice, I thought I would call on you to help us out.<\/p>\n

We’ve already got the route mostly mapped out and have plotted a few stops here and there. And I’m guessing I can use many of my air-travel techniques on the road.<\/p>\n

But we could certainly use your pointers on successful road-tripping.<\/p>\n

We are cruising from Houston to Southern Illinois for a family reunion. We are planning on starting out in the evening, spending a night out and arriving the next day. The way back we broke into 3 drives with a waterpark visit (and a quick trip to meet a blogging buddy live in person!!) along the way.<\/p>\n

So… what do know, girls?<\/p>\n

Please, please, PLEASE comment away with any and all wisdom you have to share….<\/p>\n

I’m counting on you!<\/p>\n
