Just a few lessons...learned after 37 hours in the car:

  • If your daughter starts to throw up, pull over right away (severe consequences may occur!)
  • Bring a portable DVD player, and try to make sure all the DVDs are not scratched before you go so you don't have to constantly be climbing over the seat to fix it.
  • Find every Dutch Bros Coffee shop between where you start and where you are going (it's really yummy).
  • Make sure to eat at In N Out at least four times to make those 37 hours worth every bite...
  • Try to avoid having your son catch the stomach flu while on your vacation.
  • Try to find a hotel at midnight on the way home, they give you good rates that way ($60 off!)
  • If your daughter says she has to go potty, pull over right away (severe consequences may occur!)
  • Make everyone at least TRY to go potty every time you stop (it felt like we stopped every hour on the way down!)
  • Start your roadtrip from the beach so you all have sand in every crevice and can start making those pearls.
  • Leave some milk and cream in your fridge so it can be really nice and stinky when you get home. :)
