Road trip tips
Spring break is coming up in a few weeks! We flew a lot when our girls were a little because my husband worked for Delta Airlines. But now he has a job with no flight benefits so we have to drive anywhere. We have done 4 road trips so far since moving to Northern Kentucky. We always drive during the day, with a very early start!

If kids stay asleep and you can wait to pee, drive until you need gas. We have made it 4 hours! At this time stop at a gas station, bathroom break/ diaper change. Snack or cheap toy purchase.
