Since this is our first time driving, I'm unfamiliar with the tolls. Does anyone know how much the tolls cost? Do they only take quarters?
We live in Northern Illinois and prefer to drive, just for the cost savings factor. But we are a family of three, and have a travel bubble for the roof. We always take our own car so we never rent.You would need a huge van for 7 people and luggage. They aren't cheap to rent. There may also be a charge for taking it out of state. IMHO, you probably won't save that much vs. flying.

Good morning all!
Looking at all sorts of things while planning our vacation, 12 months out lol.
The situation:
Normally, our family flies. Then again, last time we went it was just my wife, our daughter, and me This time however, our newest addition (who is almost 2 already!) will have her first trip to the world.
On top of that, we are going with some family who have never been there before, and they are bringing their 4 year old.
We kicked around the idea of flying, but since we are all trying to pinch pennies and such (more souveniers for the kids after all), we brought up the idea of renting a van and driving down together.
Now, I'm a car rental nub. i never rent cars, even when I go on business. I always get a taxi or a towncar service. So i've never experienced this before, or even know where to look.
Does anyone know of a service for renting a car fit for 7 people and luggage on a cross-country trip? Or are we crazy (potentially. We do live in Wisconsin afterall). We would be willing to drive down, then do a seperate rental to drive back if needed. Any advice or tools would be appreciated
We were talking about this tonight and agreed the portable DVD player w/headphones is awesome since the driver can still listen to music.tazer thanks for the ideas of some stuff to do...like i said I'm an antsy person and will need something to do
as for bjlc i was looking for some ideas of what to do on a long road trip not marriage advice. I'm a multitasker...i never said we dont have stuff to talk about but i need ideas of what else to do other than talk. im sorry for asking a simple question to fellow Wisconsinites.
