[quote=Anonymous]We've done this tons. Best idea is to go when the kid is asleep. If you really don't want to drive late then I would do one of two things.

1) Leave at 4, then you have the two hour time they are 'used to' and one of you can sit back there with them and occupy them. Have a stop for dinner at like 6-6:30 and then when you're getting back in the car its bedtime and you can get to your final destination by like ~1.

2) Leave at naptime so like, noon. Get three+ hours of driving in while the kid is asleep and then plan a stop somewhere fun. Back in the car at 6 and once again, hour or so of the kid awake but then they will fall asleep and you get in around 11.

The option of driving 7-11, getting unloaded into a hotel and on the road the next day isn't terrible. We have done stuff like this on occasion, but its a pain to get a hotel room baby ready and then when you get up in the morning you have hours before any sleep opportunity presents. But this is just personal travel preference. If there is a fun point halfway then stop there, sleep, hang out and explore for the day and repeat. [/quote]
