When my youngest was 6 weeks old I drove to England with him and my 4 year old (about 1,000 km each way) and thought nothing of it. I wouldn't dream of it now though.

I hope your hubby is set up with good road music. Our dogs are also sunbathing-one of them must have some Mexican hairless in her as she has no hair on the underside from chin to tail, I have to watch for sunburn as she will not come in even if she is roasting.
