Rules of the road

The title for this post is taken from Jeneric's blog. Apparently, like us, they took a road trip for Thanksgiving. The first rule on their list of `Rules of the road' is `Leaving at 4 am just means the children will wake up earlier.' This is so true. We've been trying to figure out the best time to travel with Avalon. The first day of our road trip, we decided to leave later in the day. Our goal was to have Avalon take her afternoon nap and then also fall asleep at night. Unfortunately neither of these worked out very well. The next day we went with the opposite strategy and left early hoping that she would sleep for a while. Of course, she didn't. The conclusion is that Avalon will be awake most of the time while traveling in the car.
