Oh, man. REALLY rethinking this whole "Let's DRIVE to NY/NH for Christmas," idea. If we didn't have so much crap to travel with for the baby, we'd probably be flying. But, the amount of baby stuff, combined with the liklihood of a RIDICULOUS amount of presents from Santa Grammy/Grampy and Santa Grandma, has forced us to do the unthinkable.... drive from North Carolina to New York and New England. It should be pretty interesting with a very busy 4 month old whose new "thing" is to get annoyed with being in the carseat. Yay.
Just looking at the amount of stuff that needs to be packed is making me a little anxious. Everything will surely fit (we have one of those sky box things for Brian's car), it's just a little daunting to see stacked up over there on the dining room table... the 10 foot dining room table that is COVERED in stuff. Blegh.
Here's the plan: Leave Thursday after Brian gets home from work (last bottle, bathtime, get Emma in her jammies and into the carseat and go) and drive overnight to New York. Stay in New York until the morning of the 20th, and head up to New Hampshire... probably another 5 hour drive, maybe 6 with traffic. Get up to New Hampshire on the afternoon/evening of the 20th (Monday) and stay until Christmas Eve morning. Leave EARLY Christmas Eve morning, drive to Philly, stay overnight, and do the rest of the drive to North Carolina on Christmas Day. Get home that afternoon and then have the 26th (Sunday) to relax before starting work back again on Monday.
Now...hopefully the weather will cooperate...
Wish us luck!
