We usually take 2 little trips each summer, one on a lake with all my family for a week (3 hr drive north) in Wisconsin and then 3 days at the Wisconsin Dells.
If I can plan ahead and I can get enough time off, maybe arrange 8-9days off we are thinking of taking a road trip next year. We think it would be easier and cheaper than flying with a family of 5. Oldest is autistic and we have never flown and can have more control of situations if we drive. I am just not sure it is feasible to drive to the coast from southern Wisconsin if we take 2 days to drive and only have 8 days total. And we would have to do it over spring break or maybe mid June. Would rather not have a very populated place for DD1. All kids like water and am afraid if we do Carolinas the water will be too cold. I think Florida would be too far for a week long trip. Not sure how far we could drive in 1 day.
Any suggestions?
