Wednesday late afternoon on June 2nd, 2010 we headed out on our second road trip journey with Linnea. We were driving to Cincinnati, OH for my friends wedding. Let me just say it was easier when we went to CO when she was 6 months old.
I'm not saying she isn't still a great traveler...she just now needs a portable dvd player with her. And she prefers to just sleep in her pack and play for a nap and most of the night.
The carseat sleeping...apparently she wasn't interested in that this trip.
Even after her bedtime books were read, her lullabies were in, it was dark, her pjs were on and she had a blanket and a bedtime snack of a cookie she wouldn't go to sleep. So we turned on the dvd player in hopes to get farther that first night. But no such luck...
We stayed in an Econo Lodge in Beloit, IA. As you can see above we had many miles to go! There are many different routes you can take but we chose one, thanks to many tips from friends, that avoided Chicago. So we had about a 13 hour trip. I think it took about 18 hours.
We found many rest stops for the squirt to run around at and we found some playgrounds too.
