There are a few things you need to know before traveling over 400 miles with your kids in the car.
1. They will cry for McDonalds every time they see one. And you will give in at every meal time because they give toys. Which will keep them quiet for 30 minutes.
2. Legos, Play Dough and Puzzels are awesome. But not on a road trip.
3. The only thing more annoying than hearing "Are we there yet?" is "Mom I have to pee." Because you have to stop. And once they know you have to stop... they have to pee every twenty minutes.
4. You will spend half the trip telling them "Ok. I heard you. But there is nothing I can do about it right now!"
5. No matter how organized you are, you will a) not be able to get to what you need or b) you will have forgotten it.
6. You must wear sweatpants (or even better yoga pants) because your ass will grow an entire dress size in one trip. Because you are stopping at McDonalds every 4 hours.
But hugging the people you traveled twenty hours, seventeen happy meals, and countless pee breaks to see? Totally worth it.
