First Trip to Nags head

My family and I are making our first trip to Nags Head June 6. We are traveling by car from Cincinnati, Ohio. My husband and I are traveling with a 1 and 4 year old. Any suggestions with making the trip, what to do with the kids, has anyone made a long trip like this before with small kids??

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi brickbeats and welcome to the forum! It has been a long time since I had a child that young, but I would guess that you would not want to drive straight through. Are you planning on breaking the trip up with an overnight stop?

I would suggest videos, games, books, toys, etc., to keep them occupied. Stop and have a meal or snack to break it up for them if they become really restless.

Do you mean what to do with the kids on the road trip or when you get there? We made the trip last summer. The kids did better than grandpa! Of course, Grandpa %26amp; Grandma drove straight through and the rest of the gang with the little ones stopped in Richmond. However, they did say they wished they had gone on and just made the rest of the trip.

Once you get there, lots of fun things for the little ones. Someone suggested to us to take a baby pool and an umbrella to the beach and let them run from the ocean to the pool with a bucket and fill up the baby pool and let them play in that. We had a treasure hunt for the kids and also hunted for ghost crabs at night. There is a pirate adventure and an aquarium nearby, as well.
