Thanks, littlelion, Lucy....H and I were considering a trip to Myrtle Beach. I thought it was like 9-10 hours away but it turns out to be more like 12 or 13. We wanted to drive because it's a total PITA with all the baby stuff we need to lug there. But now I'm thinking it's not even worth it at all. And he's dead set against flying anywhere.

Sorry. This is one of the reasons my unmarried cousin thinks she's not cut out to be a mom...doesn't like the idea of not traveling as much as she does now. I was one of her traveling buddies. I haven't traveled since 2012.

Would any of you guys drive 12 hours for vacation?
We drive 9 hours to my ILs a few times a year (it takes us way longer than 9 hours). It's absolutely horrible but I'm cheap and don't want to stop halfway in a hotel. We take our dog with us so flying isn't an option. M was a terror in the car until we flipped him around. I suspect N will be the same but who knows?! if you guys stay in a hotel halfway I say it's very doable. last year we drove to the beach, but stopped at my ILs. Lately we leave at like 4 and get there around 2-3 which isn't horrible. This year we may drive all night since we likely won't be sleeping at night anyways 😬😩😂. just get some headphones 😁
Yeah, we were only going to go for like 4 nights. But if it were longer, I might still consider it.
I'm still resisting the minivan. Now I just drive a giant, gas guzzling SUV.
All of this talk of driving long distances with babies sounds horrific. I think I'll just stay in my house with my kiddo and make people come to me from now on.

I saw your other posts... if the 12 hours included the stopping to feed and change the babies, yes. But it doesn't. Like others said, add a couple hours for feeding, changing diapers, fussy babies, etc. It was mapped at 7.5 hours for us last summer (to North Myrtle), but we planned ahead of time to break the drive up over two days. So we drove to southern NC the first day and then Myrtle Beach the next morning. It might've been 10-11 hours total and that was with a 4 year old, 17 month old and me pregnant. Oh and if you ever go, don't leave to go south on a Saturday... the VA 95 traffic is HORRIBLE!
We've done some trips up to New England that totally sucked with snow, babies, potty breaks, etc. but they ended up taking ~12 total. Not sure I could've handled much more. Lol. We're driving up there next month.... say a prayer for me now!!
I would totally say maybe next summer it's doable. It was so much fun and a great area. I haven't been, but a lot of people love some of the seaside areas of NJ. Not the same as Myrtle Beach, but a closer drive.

requiressnacks... 4 nights? Oh hell no for that long a drive. Lol. I'd say minimum 5 nights there with possibly a hotel on the way there/back if you go this summer.

Oh and the mini-van.... we're all camp no mini-van over here. But I will say we rented one when we went home in January and it was great -- so roomy to climb in/out, diaper changes, feed baby, etc. I still can't bring myself to get one. I'll just be cruising along in the Pilot for at least a few more years.

Yup! I wish had somewhere to go or something to do. But alas, baby was sleeping on me. I put him down to do some things and he woke up. WTF! Go to sleep!

Me too. But it's what I get for staying up until 11 pm.
Yup. Sunday nights are brutal. My mind gets all geared up for the week ahead and I basically run down my to-do list in my mind for hours when I should be sleeping.
Same. I told MH not to ask for sex anytime in the near future. I also told him I want a hotel room for my birthday. Alone. for drinking wine, ordering room service and sleeping. 😴😴😴😴 doesn't that sound amazing? Sorry but not sorry DH.
Dream. This is why I'm going to my twin mom retreat. I'll be drinking wine and passing the F out with blackout shades down.

Last night I sat down for 30 min to watch a movie and DH kept asking for a bj, repeatedly. I was seriously po'd. Like can I have time when I just don't do any work whatsoever?! To get him to shut the f up, I told him that I'd give him a goodbye bj next month when he left for Mexico.
Add me to the kids sleeping terrible list. They each have their own crib in the nursery, but keep waking each other up. We would like to keep them together for as long as possible, but are debating trying to move one into the guest room for a little while to see if they (and us) sleep better.
Becca lol. Yeah, definitely don't bring our kids there when we visit. We're wicked smart - we bring them further north to the freezing cold water in Maine. Brrrrr!!

I don't even know how I'd react to this!! Laugh? Yell? Both?

That is where we will probably go for beach vacations.
