It would mean getting in around 1 or 2 a.m. but would give us the most time visiting. We have to come Sunday, so want to visit as much as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-long-trip-w-lo#post-856503 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:35:50 +0000 MamaBehr 856503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We drove from one side of New York State to the other, seven to eight hour drive, when DD was just barely 3 months old. It was HORRIBLE. But, she was a tough newborn. </p> <p>I flew with DS from TX to NY, by myself when he was 2 and a half months old. That was much better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-long-trip-w-lo#post-856498 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:35:16 +0000 matador84 856498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drove 5 hours alone with LO when he was about 4 months old and turned around the next day and drove another 4 hours! I felt like a bad ass. I think it would be a lot harder now that he doesn't sleep all the time. I think I'm going to do a 5 hour drive again with him in july and then a 3 hour trip as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-long-trip-w-lo#post-856491 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:33:59 +0000 Weagle 856491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Driving through the night is totally the way to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-long-trip-w-lo#post-856478 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:32:12 +0000 MamaMoose 856478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you can, leave in the evening. We drove 6.5 hours with LO. I fed her at six, we got in the car, she cooed for 30 minutes and then slept the rest of the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-long-trip-w-lo#post-856477 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:32:04 +0000 Weagle 856477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took a three week trip when she was 4 months old from DC to Alabama. We flew that time, but we've driven that trip with her too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-long-trip-w-lo#post-854324 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:30:00 +0000 MaisyMay 854324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where was your first long trip with LO?</p> <p>In August, DH and I are planning on driving to LA to see friends/family. It's going to be 7 hours in the car. Oh boy! </p>
