A few weeks ago we completed a 2-week trip in our RV-10, covering 5000+ miles in 33 hours with our 1-year-old boy. I thought we were a little crazy to try it, but it worked out really well. I did a write-up on our site: http://kochman.net/N819K/?p=1437 As always, I have to thank my wife for suggesting the RV-10 instead of the -7. What an amazing family cross-country machine.

Rob,
Nice write up and great photos. What camera were you using? Some of the photos have excellent color & tone.

Rob, Great write-up. It really is fun traveling with kids.
Some things get easier, and some get harder, as they grow,
but it's always fun to have them along.
I agree fully about the full-service FBO's....whenever I'm
going to get stuck or want to have a super simple stay over,
I go for a nice FBO. Then you let them do the work of arranging
the car, hotel, pointing you to food, and it makes it so easy.
Yeah, you throw away $20, or $50, or even sometimes more, but
the service they provide is really nice. I keep track of those
nice stops in the bigger cities, and it's comforting to know you
can almost always count on them being open.
Have fun with your travels!
Tim

Yes, a great trip report!
We've never had any young'uns in our lives but definitely get it. Our
big trip thus far was about the same dimensions going the other
direction - NC to Phoenix and back. The '10 made it comfortable and
enjoyable.
Long live the full-service FBOs! We shop for gas and land in some god
forsaken places chasing it sometimes, but we also chase well located
airports with nice FBOs. Paying a few bucks for good and desired
services seems like fair trade. Getting (low price) hotel reservations,
ice cream sandwiches, nice bathrooms and car service is sometimes the
difference between a good and less than good trip. Being met by a
couple of line people, with your car, cold water, and help off loading
your bags is nice after a long bumpy descent over the desert is sweet.
Of course, $5 gas is sweet too but sometimes you have to choose.
We too end up packing stuff in a lot of little bags. But the
convenience of having everything you need and want, handy, is a
privilege of private plane travel. Sometimes we feel like a traveling
circus troop when we check in. Looking over at some minimally packed
travelers in the lobby and realizing they probably don't have an iced
bottle of bubbly, slippers and their favorite pillow along for the stay,
we don't mind herding all those little bags around so much. No invasive
security on the private side of aviation!

Thanks, guys. Robin, pics were taken with a iPhone 5, Nokia Lumia 920, and Nikon D800. Even though it's a fancy DSLR, the D800 pics are probably the least impressive, since I haven't yet had time to process them.
