In just under 14 hours, we made it to New Orleans tonight. If you're making good time (i.e. Sprinkel time) the trip should only take about 11 hours, but factoring in two kids and their eating/pooping schedules can slow things down a bit. Other than sandwiching Catcher and Scout and ourselves into the Explorer without an inch to spare--literally, we had to throw out our sheets and Catcher's sand pail and Scout's diaper basket this morning to make everything fit in the car--everything has gone better than expected thus far. Maybe the secret weapon is that the kids can't see each other (I'll share pics of the inside of the car soon so you can see exactly what I mean).
In case you're wondering, there isn't much going on between Charlotte and New Orleans. I'm glad we decided to stop here and spend two nights for a rest because 1) where in the world would be sleeping otherwise...somewhere in Alabama?! and 2) we couldn't possibly have two days in a row of such good car behavior from the little ones. Besides, I've never been to New Orleans, and I can't wait to try these fancy donuts everyone is talking about!
