And it is expensive as heck!!!!
We drove down in June. With stopping, potty breaks (one of the kids potty training), it took us between 14-16 hours.
We left here around 9 at night and drove just south of the border in SC and stayed at a hotel there. Arrived around 4 am I think. We then got back on the road around noon and hit florida around 7
Coming home, we drove straight home, only had the 13 yo with us coming home, and I think it still took close to 15 hours because we stopped at south of the border to check that out, and to go to the bathroom and get food.
Cost us roughly $400 in gas. WAY less than the train and actually less time too.
