After nearly seven in hours in the car, we finally made it to North Carolina early this morning (sometime around 4AM) - the kids did awesome! Even though it makes for a rough morning, driving at night is the way to go with littles.
The girls slept the entire way. Justin drove, and I managed to sneak in a two hour nap just before we got here. There's so much less traffic at night, and it's just the easiest way to do it all-around. I highly recommend traveling at night if you're going long distances with kids. Best idea we've had in a long time!
Today we're hitting up the beach (about 30 minutes away from where we're staying) and hanging out with Matt & Fanny. They were nice enough to let us crash here at their house, which is way easier than holing up in a hotel with the girls. We've got room to sprawl out and good family to keep us company!
Feel free to follow along our travels with me on Twitter (@mommaruthsays) or on Instagram (username: mommaruthsays) - yay for the beach, vacation, family and our first official trip as a family of four!

Road trip!! We thought we'd do the same thing (leave at night) when the boy was little and he litterally screamed and cried the whole time, our 6 hour drive turned into 9 hours and hubby actually parked the car and started walking in the middle of nowhere! Glad yours was much smoother. Enjoy.
