I had promised myself to avoid a cross country trip with a toddler following our move to California, which was a long, exhausting journey. But the promise of beach sunsets and pool time was just too enticing. We decided to give the family car trip another go, this time with much more planning and organization. It paid off! Lydia was a happy camper with lots of new toys and Curious George videos. She even napped the first few days. We made it a point to drive no more than eight hours a day, giving us plenty of pool time at our predetermined hotels. Plus, we all ate better on this trip. I'm not going to lie and say that things weren't unraveling by the time we hit the Gulf Coast but we did redeem ourselves as car travelers. I can see more trips in our future. Megan
