I put this in NBR, even though it kind of is. Not sure where to put it. ANYWHO. This Thanksgiving, we are hoping that I can get the time off from work to go out to Ann Arbor, MI to visit my relatives. We are in PA. D will be 10 months old. We usually drive out with my parents, but that means a 2-hour drive Wednesday night to my parents' house, then an 8.5-hour drive to Ann Arbor (likely made significantly longer due to stops for D to eat). I am thinking we should fly - hour train ride to airport, 2-hour flight, hour drive from Detroit to Ann Arbor. We would fly Thursday morning, rather than Wednesday, as our experience is Thursday is MUCH less busy!

FWIW, D is a very "easy" baby - has slept well (ie, STTN) since 5 weeks old, and is pretty flexible when it comes to eating/sleeping schedule changes when necessary. That being said, he also doesn't totally love being in his car seat. So I think we should fly. But Hubs is pretty anti-flying-with-baby and thinks we should drive.

What would you recommend?
