The Surprises About Traveling with kids

Emma had her first road trip last week. Packing took many hours the night before and the morning of our short weekend trip to Miami. She was crying non stop for 3 hours. We only got 50 miles from home (in 3 hours) when we decided to drive back. We knew that our "relaxing" weekend in Miami was going to be bad when it starts with a 300 mile ride each way with a crying baby. It was a torture for the 3 of us. We tried EVERYTHING to comfort her and all that she wanted was to get out of the car. After our long ride we were happy be home. 


Apparently all the traveling that we will be doing for now will be our daily walks around the house. We have to start making shorter trips to help her get used to the car.



Can anyone give some advise to new parents like me who can't figure out a way to go out and at the same time have a happy baby? The "let her cry until she falls asleep" technique did not work!

    Me parece buena idea eso de dar pequeños paseos para que se acostumbre. Lo bueno es que le va a gustar estar en casa ;)

  4. She is just so freaking cute. I'm sorry to hear that your trip didn't go as planned - but hey, it gives you material for the travel blog, right?
