Wedding in Italy? Why fly?

Very similar approach. Makes me feel lucky as I was doing this with my wife who was 34 weeks pregnant at the time, and our 3 year old. I have friends that can't seem to drive an hour without stopping 'because the kids won't put up with it'.
For us it wasn't even a long trip as we often drive to Southern Serbia and back, giving us opportunities to stop all over Central Europe, the Alps, Croatia and so on.
You know when you're getting older when your recently toilet trained 3 year old has the stronger bladder
People assume it's boring but then I point out, with the benefit of taking a little extra time, we have had overnight stops in Belgium, Switzerland and France. The car is full of Belgian beer and waffles as well as taking back as much of the local wedding Chianti as our allowances would permit, as our gift to the wedding couple.
I wouldn't do it any other way. The thought of traversing Luton airport makes me want to have a panic attack.
The novel thing about this recent trip is that we did it in an EV, which seemed to blow a few minds in its own right.
Quality! Yeah, I remember when I was a kid me and my brother would be plonked in the back and left to spot new car regulations all the way to Blackpool.

We stopped in 5 different countries in 10 days, got to try different food, brought back random foods and drinks too. Saw some nice places on the way too, far from boring.
Doing it in an EV is cool, my mate and I were toying with getting a villa in Portugal next year, he’d drive down in his Tesla. I noticed lots of chargers across most of Europe which was encouraging
