A friend who does a lot of traveling with his large family gave me this advice - and it worked nicely: Eat breakfast, play for about 30 minutes. Then push the miles in the morning until lunch, then take 2-4 little play breaks (15 minutes) between lunch and an early dinner, then more miles in the evening. Rest stops (depending on the state) were usually pretty nice and clean I found - and a lot easier on the wallet than McDonalds. We managed ~350 miles per day of easy driving, and some days up to 500. Good luck! It’s not so bad… we took our 5 little ones over a few thousand miles.
