feeding we spent about ten ours on the rode for two days on the way to South Carolina and two days on the way home. We weren't sure how the kids would do for this amount of time in the car; Shai being one and the other three whom all suffer from car sickness. It was great! Quite enjoyable most of the time! We had a wonderful collection audio books and music, combined with car bingo, mum reading aloud, a selection of car toys and view to compare to none.
The mountains driving through West Virginia and Virginia were spectacular. (its on our go back and visit list!) We stopped quite a few times just to take in the view. The kids were impressed with the longest arched bridge and the tunnels through the mountains. I was excited watching more green appear as we drove closer to our destination. By the time we reached Virginia there was flowering trees everywhere.
We stopped over night at a hotel with a pool, allowing everyone to move their bodies before sleeping. Aria did have car sickness, I am pretty sure because of the windy roads. A nap did her wonders. Shai who is by far our best car traveller did have a rough patch. There was a time on the way down he couldn't be consoled. He didn't want to nurse, no toy pleased him, no songs, nothing except being out of the car. After three stops we needed to go. He was tired, we were tired. I gave him chocolate! it worked, he ate it, rubbed it over himself and then fell asleep. Yeah for chocolate!

Hi Emma,
Your trip sounded great! Have you ever tried ginger snaps for travel sickness?

Hey Alidon...so nice to 'see' you!
we do try ginger snaps, and they work for periods for two of my guys. Thankfully including the one who can't cope well with being sick. Thanks for sharing
