Over the holidays, we decided to drive to Seattle since Mike had a good amount of time off. Well, we actually drove to the Palm Springs area first for a few days, then went to Seattle - a bit ambitious, but we made it. Ryan was a trooper - we discovered he wouldn't sleep in the car - a nightmare at 11pm at night when he's awake and we're in the middle of California looking for a hotel, but he was relatively happy sitting in his car seat for the 20 hour trip. We kept him entertained by introducing new toys and playing the occasionally Elmo DVD. We were even able to make the return trip (14 hours) in one day without too much protest. I think we'll attempt another road trip in the future. Well, we definitely have one on our agenda for next fall when we move to Rhode Island. Hopefully the new baby will follow his/her big brother's lead and be a happy passenger too!
