Boston to Orlando with 3 Yr Old
This seems to be the most recent thread (that I have seen so far) similar to our upcoming travel plans. I am looking for any and all input on traveling from Boston to Orlando in two days - my husband, myself and our three year old.
We were discussing leaving Satuday morning, stopping for lunch (in addition to small stops at rest areas) and letting the three year old get the wiggles out ... and then driving until dinner or maybe even after dinner to a hotel where we could stay the night. Getting up Sunday morning and finishing the drive. :) Any input on where would be a good place to stay or stop for lunch. I didn't think making this plan would be so complicated :) :) yet we are not able to fly ... so drive we shall!
Any input and advice is appreciated!

Seriously Not Recommended
Boston to Orlando is over 1300 miles, the first half of it on some of the most brutal highways in America. There is no way that we can recommend that you make this trip, not in two days, and especially not with a small child. You would have to exceed the maximum legal daily driving limit for professional long-haul drivers by 10% for two days back-to-back. Even then, you're assuming that you can drive in the time that software tells you is possible. Software has never actually driven the BosWash corridor. I have and I will tell you that if you get to and by Washington on your first day, you will not only be extremely fortunate you will be mentally and physically exhausted. Long before you reach Orlando, you will be putting your lives, the lives of everyone who shares the road with you, and the life of your child at severe risk.
