| My suggestion probably won't work for you. Rent a car.... anything over say 300 miles you are better off renting....

| With kids pack some snacks & drinks, a variety, somewhat healthy. I’d keep a few plastic bags for garbage also. You may need a few energy drinks. |

You did use it. You just didn't use it to jack the vehicle. |

No. A plug kit is much better if you have to patch it yourself. I've done it myself a few times. Even done it with the tire on the car. Best though if the tire is removed and patched from the inside by a tire shop but the plugs have never failed me on a tire that can be patched.

| That is a super easy drive, freeway all the way. Your biggest challenge is going to be the kids. We have taken several long trips with our 5 year old granddaughter and on the last one we borrowed a portable DVD player, made a big difference. Watch the time of day as you really don't want to be driving through the big cities during rush hour.

| Imodium can be your bestest friend ever as can a a bunch of baby wipes. A leatherman tool, extra glasses, photocopy of your DL credit card etc. enough cash to buy gas for a trip home at stupid high prices. Banking computers go to shit occasionally your cc may not be the backup you hoped.
