That might be possible with my own but these two are grand kids. Getting in tune with their road trip habits, what they eat, and other stuff wouldn't be too fun on a road trip. Great kids just young and lots of energy plus the older one gets car sick on extended drives. The younger one is all boy and well enough said. It will be a week of fun in the sun pool, fishing, zoo, and other kids stuff. They'll also go down for a few days to their other grandmother's ranch while they're here.
