On the Road Details
The trip from our home to our first major destination at Mobile, AL is an approximate 6 hour drive. Since we'll be travelling with 2 children under the age of 10 (& possibly an infant), we need to consider frequent stops (about every 2 hours). Baton Rouge (LA) & Gulfport (MS) will be our stops for breakfast & snacks/restrooms, stopping more frequently only if absolutely necessary.
