[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 kids. We drive the 1000 miles there and back and try to stay 1-2 weeks and see both sides of the family. Suck it up and drive 9pm-9am, take a nap and then enjoy yourself.[/quote]

9pm to 9am, very brave. Practical but still...  how do you keep awake?[/quote]

We've done 14 hour drives straight through before but we have done 3am-5pm.  That way we have a good amount of daylight for most of the trip and we arrive in time to have a nice dinner and drinks before bedtime.  We're in our 50's now and that drive is pretty brutal for us but our kids are old enough to actually help with the driving if we wanted them to so that helps.

12 hours straight through in the middle of the night with no sunlight....I don't know that I could do that.

That’s cool too, but not sure we’d wake the pre-schoolers up for that. They sleep fantastically from 8 or 9 pm onward!
If we can spare a day we hotel in Pittsburgh, lots of fun swimming pool hotels.[/quote]
