[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, we have a 16 month old and we were considering a trip that required a 7 hour drive... and have decided against it. It's just a bad age. He's still on two naps, but he no longer naps great in the car. Takes him a while to fall asleep, etc. He never connects sleep cycles in the car now - he's up in 45 minutes. That's fine for one of his naps (especially the first one), but not for night! So leaving at bedtime seems like such a gamble, like there's a good chance he could basically scream the whole time. The only airport is a solid 2.5 hours from our destination, so that doesn't really help. If he was 10 months, we'd just drive overnight, if he was 20 months, we'd probably take the train in the morning and then drive the last leg during his (one!) nap. But with two naps - it's just not worth the hassle.

In your case, I'd probably fly. DC to Boston, there's a million flights and the flight is like an hour. One hour in the car is super manageable. You can ship stuff to your destination. [/quote]
