Ok, so what if you wake up crazy early like 3 am. Wake up but hope she goes back to bed in the car right away. You'll get to the cape in the later morning where there will be a bit of traffic but not as bad at 11 or noon.
I think this may be our best bet.
With your check-in time I think this is your best option as well. Even if you hit traffic on the cape, at least you'll have avoided it getting out of NY.
yes pack all the stuff until you are literally ready to leave, then wake V at 2am and transfer her quickly to the carseat and get moving. This way she may fall asleep again immediately. 6ish hours later you will arrive at 8am/9am in the morning. This is early enough that you probably won't hit a ton of traffic but I'm not sure. My experience is with Friday evening drives there which tend to be pretty sucky.
Go for a leisurely breakfast to pass the time. I like bayside betsy's!
I would leave at like 4am. Serious. I would have the car all packed the night before, transfer sleepy V to her car seat and drive baby drive! You *should* at that hour have minimal traffic, but I would still plan on being stuck in it once you pass through Falmouth.

I think this is what we are going to do. I wish we didn't have the damn dogs because that really limits what we can do once we arrive before we check in BUT I think we're going for it anyway. Eeek! I am very unprepared for this trip.

You're dogs are small though, so hopefully the weather will be nice and you can eat somewhere outside with them tied up. What time can you enter the house?

The guy said between 1-3, so hopefully closer to 1? But now Saturday is forecasted to RAIN, RAIN, RAIN. Just like the rest of the trip.

Lots of sun on that forecast too though! Try to stay optimistic! 1 isn't bad. Just bring a big umbrella and the rain cover for her stroller and shop around until you can get in. Maybe do some grocery shopping before too to kill some time?
