We started off at 8:30am for North Carolina, and eventually arrived at 9pm that night. It was a long, long day of travel for sure, but we tried to make it easier on Connor by planning some fun stops along the way. Our summer family vacation is a visit to NC to see family, then back up to Maryland for a week at Deep Creek Lake with friends, and finally coming back home about 12 days later. Lots and lots of family togetherness (and time spent in a car seat).A stop at Richmond's Children's Museum was a huge hit. Connor loved being able to run around wherever and touch whatever he wanted.
Even with a few stops, he spent an awfully long time in his car seat, and the last few hours of the trip were, unfortunately, pretty miserable for him. We didn't realize that he wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably for any length of time, so by the time we arrived at our hotel that evening, he had "napped" just enough to be recharged and not ready to sleep. This was the scene as we tried to get him to wind down for bedtime. He wasn't asleep until 10:30!
