Long Car Ride with 2 babies...

We've made a (somewhat) last minute decision to travel down to Encinitas from the Bay Area with our 2.5 year old and 6 month old. We feel bad about locking the kids down for a 7 plus hour car ride, but we want to take the trip. After Googling "Long Car Ride with baby" I've not really come across any great new ideas as to how we might occupy the kiddies.

One suggestion is to drive when the kids are sleeping. The big problem is that the 2 year old doesn't sleep in the car. The other problem is that if we were to drive at night, then I would...

We're planning on sing-along-cd's and even children's books on cd = John Henry narrated by Denzel Washington, etc and a marathon of DVD's. We've picked up some new toys that will act as surprises along the way...Hmm, what else? We'll plan to stop and stretch our legs quite a bit. Of course the makes the trip even longer...Oh boy.

We've been telling the babies about the trip. That helps in getting them excited about the adventure. "We're going to the beach!" "We're going to see a panda!"

One funny side note is that with the popularity of Go Diego Go in our house it makes going to San Diego even more exciting. Now we hear Go San Diego Go.

We'll let you know how it turns out!
