Only driving someplace more local, which doesn't require getting on I-95 for any length of time. Why subject yourself to holiday travel if you don't have to?

Yes. Fly to Ft. Myer and get a suite in Naples or Marco Island or Sanibel. Or go in thru Tampa or Ft. Lauderdale (I find MIA to be a headache.) Or as pp suggested drive or take the train to a mountain resort with a kid's club. Fun for them, spa day for you.

Some people don't cope well.

Oh, good lord. A three-month old is a piece of cake. A three year old is not.
