Travelling with a 6 month old is hard enough, but get one that appears to get car sick...that's absolutely no fun at all. Logan had a really rough time in the car, so much so that when we would get him near the car, he started to scream. He got sick a couple of times, which was not fun for us. We tried to time it so that we would start our trip from Moses Lake, WA to Cannon Beach, OR Logan would want to sleep. Luckily, that's what he did for an hour or so. But then he would wake up and scream. We made a pit stop at my parents house, which is about halfway between the two points. Logan had fun playing at grandma's and grandpa's even though they weren't there. I think it was the fact that he wasn't in the car. But then we had to leave to finish our trip. He kicked and screamed while we put him back in the car seat. Sam and I both felt just awful that we had to do this, but it had to be done. Fortunately, he fell asleep after awhile and slept for another hour or so. When he woke up, the screaming started again, and one of us had to sit in the back with him to keep him somewhat entertained. We had to make an unscheduled stop because Logan just wasn't having it. He wanted out of the car so bad. So, we found a little park to go to once we reached Oregon and let Logan play around for a bit. It helped, but we still had a ways to go and so the drama continued as we finished the last couple of hours of our trip. Sam sat in the back with Logan and was excellent at entertaining him, while I drove to Cannon Beach.
Here are some pictures of our stop at a park in Clatskanie, OR
Logan just wanted to play, but he needed to eat as well. He literally pushed me backwards onto the ground as he was fighting me to be free. So, we let him go and he tried to get the bottle himself, but realized that that wasn't going to work. So he finished his bottle and we let him roll around until he was semi-ready to go again.
