[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP -- while I totally understand the logic behind driving as much as possible while DC is asleep, is stopping somewhere overnight a bad idea? For example, if we left after DC fell asleep around 7 pm or so, and then drove four hours, that's obviously very convenient, but we're concerned that with all the shuffling of checking into the hotel, etc, DC will wake up, and since she'll be in an unfamiliar place, she'll be difficult to get back to sleep....or maybe we're overthinking it?

I am the first pp, and I would never do this because we don’t have a problem driving through the night. Get a nap beforehand, switch drivers if someone feels sleepy, etc. I would not want the hassle of the hotel and traveling on two days for a one day journey. But you are not me, so it depends on your preferences. I have one kid who can fall back asleep easily and another who might not, so I’m not sure how disruptive the hotel would be. Of course, one parent would check in and take bags up and arrange everything in the room so that you take the kid up (hopefully carrying them) at the very end of the process and deposit directly into their bed.[/quote]
