this past weekend we made the long haul to aunt L's wedding in northern california. it was 12+ hours of driving (one way) with the actual distance being only about 9 hours and the extra hours devoted to nursing/pee/food stops.
monkey did really really good on the drive since i had the bright idea of getting him a portable DVD player. he stayed fully entrenched in tv coma the entire way!!! hahaha!!! it was great!!! the first day he didnt even have to pee for the first 6 hours b/c of it !!!! HAHAHA!
turtle on the other hand was not having any of it! she would ride for a couple of hours in her carseat without complaining. but after that she was D-O-N-E!!! there were several times when she just cried and cried and cried b/c she didnt want to be in her seat anymore. and i couldnt blame her... but i also couldnt take her out. i think the main problem was that she is a tummy sleeper so she couldnt get comfy in her seat :(
we took 2 days to drive down and one day to drive back.... i will NEVER do this again! and i dont recommend this to ANYONE!
it was nice seeing all the family though... and aunt L's wedding was very sweet!

I know your pain Girlfriend. We took all six kids back North for a visit, 6 hours in an SUV. NOT FUN! A good friend told me "you will soon forget the inconvenience, trouble and stress but for those you visited they will remember it forever!
I'm glad you survived!
