I wanted to share some things I have learned from this last road trip with my family.
- Kids cooped up in a car seat all day WILL be crazy once the driving is done. Allow them to run around and be crazy before trying to settle down for bed.
- Talking with an almost three year old to prepare her for what's ahead is a good idea.
- Always look at your hotel room before you decide to stay for the night.
- Comfort Inns are a good bet (or any Choice Hotel chain).
- Gusty wind isn't fun while driving in the middle of Kansas.
- Flexibility is key
- Eating semi healthy while on the road pays off.
- A car dust buster may be a good investment.
- Kids sometimes surprise you and do really well on a long road trip.
- I think we'll be flying to Indy at least until our kids are a bit older.

Yeah, we're done with road trips that go longer than a day for now.
Sorry the hotel sucked! You know, I have always been wary of Comfort Inns because my two worst hotel experiences were in them: one in LA that was just nasty, and one in the middle of Kansas that was infested with ants! I think Holiday Inn Express is generally my fav for cheapie hotels.
I have never tried a Holiday Inn Express - I will keep that in mind. I'm sorry the Comfort Inn experience hasn't been good for you. For us, they have been our best bet so far. Also good to know alternatives though!
