I'm very excited that we finally managed to have a car trip that took more than an hour that involved almost no crying or whining.
To what do I owe this success? Older kids, and a long stop in the middle.
On our way up to Tahoe, we took a VERY long break in Sacramento, checked out the famous Train Museum, which is indeed all that it is cracked up to be, and visited Sacramento's venerable food COOP(what is up with me and my obsession with food COOPs?)
Oh, and one other thing that saved the day at the end of the car ride - pulling out the Annie's whole wheat cheddar cheese bunnies. Boy were those a hit. Shira begged me for more for a solid week. Nothing like saving the special treat food as last resort. I guess there are some (almost none) advantages to being the mean mom who almost never lets her kids eat anything good.
