@Kristy: Good times!
@Jennie C: Can’t tell you how often I’ve been tempted…

Kristy’s story made me giggle (as did Linda’s). We gave our foster children “travel medicine” (Gravol/Dramamine) for years, never knowing if they needed it or not. I know, probably not the best idea, but I just couldn’t face the possibility of a vomitty road trip. :)

You know I must blog on the horrible truth about GPS. This article reminded me of my 3 hour car journey which seemed like 10 hours as my 5 year old counted down the miles on the GPS 1 by 1.

I feel like she was peeking into my head and narrating our last car trip from NJ to Maine (7 hours!). Here’s a “No shitter”, road trips with babies and toddlers makes me want to never leave the house again.

We drive to Maine from our home in Jersey City a few times a year to visit my family. At Christmas, we made it about three miles from our house and just through the awful Holland Tunnel when my son had a major throw up incident. He proceeded to vomit two more times before we cleared NYC! We ended it up making it about two hours and then stopping at my in-laws for a complete washing of the car and its contents. (We had just put him in his first Toddler car seat which I can’t look at now without scrunching up my nose thinking of the smell!).
