We have 2 preschool boys, a minivan with dvd, and a small budget. we do not want to pay $800-1000 in airfare, so we want to drive to orlando from the chicago area.
has anyone made a similar trip? due to my dh's work hours, we cannot leave chicago until a friday evening at 7:30 pm the earliest. we need to be in valdosta saturday night. we thought about stopping in either indianapolis (3.5 hrs from us) or seymour, IN (4.5 hrs from us), and that would leave us 11-12 hrs to drive on sat. Is this do-able? should we just have the kids sleep in the car and drive through the night from chicago to valdosta?
any input is appreciated!
