Hi,

I personally would go with no 1,  especially if you don't really have too much of a time limit.  You could stop look at things, rest, go to playgrounds when kids get restless etc.  You'd be able to pack everything you need.  I think it would be a great experince for your kids.  I would love to do something like that.  You could do a photo album after "our roadtrip"

Just plan for any long strethes of driving with coloring books, etc.  If you havn't got one already, maybe invest in the postable dvd player, but get one you can plug into your cigarette lighter and also a normal socket, so when you stop kids can watch some movies at night or during quiet time.

Anyway sounds great, have fun which ever way you decide to go.

personally I would drive. you can stop at all those place you wouldnt normally go to. you have all your own stuff (no kiddies chucking a spaz cause it aint their seat or u freaking cause of spillz or spew. Also you can change plans better in a car. I would go plane when the kids are older.

 If it was me, I would choose No. 1.

It might take longer but  if you see a place you like you can stopped, do the trip at your own pace and  have a break when you want to.

Take all those little things you need for 3 little ones. something will crop up that you need and you will have it with instead of having to buy it.

What better way to see  our country.

Hey Josie, coming my way??????????? hehe!
