Price wise, driving wins even with the rising gas prices.
Time wise, flying wins... even a 5 hour trip with layovers beats the 12-13 hour drive plus bathroom/ feeding stops. Not to mention that since I'd be going it sans Aaron, I'd be breaking the trip up into two days.
Luggage wise... driving, sadly wins. I'd have to take both car seats on the plane with me, and lugging those plus two kids, plus our suit case... may I have a car to get around the air port with?
Also, having my own car in Utah would be far better on my parents and me (for day trip purposes), even though the chance to drive my mom's little red car OR my dad's new toy would be AWESOME!
All in all, I'll probably end up driving (WHAT am I thinking???), but that doesn't mean this debate is over by any means! It starts again every time I think about the trip and search airline prices. Luckily Eli and, so far, Anna are pretty good on car trips.

If it were me...I'd probably fly. But then again, I only have one (at least for another week :) ). Emmy is HORRIBLE in the car. We're heading to Vegas in May for my niece's blessing...and let me tell you...the thought of taking two little ones in the car for 8 hours is already making me cringe. We talked about flying as well, but it really is expensive. And you're right, the thought of having to lug everything along at the airport seems very daunting. Tim even said that he'd drive just him and Emmy down, and I could drive with my parents and our new little man so that I wouldn't have to deal with my terror car child :). Hahaha. I'd worry to much about the two of them though...
Anyway...we're going to invest in a little dvd player for our car before we go and play movies the whole way. I'm hoping that it works! Good luck! Let me know when you're in town, maybe we can get together! I'd love to meet Anna :)
Yay!!! I had no idea you were coming in town Carrie. So fun. So hard traveling- and with no hubby. I have no idea what that is like, but I hope you have a good trip. I have a family in Reno if you need to stop-seriously, they would love to meet Josh's sister and your cute kids . . . love ya.
YEAH, I heard you might be coming! I really hope that's true! I want to see Anna SO bad! And Grant would LOVE to play with his cousin Eli!!
Not to add to your debate, but Jet Blue is having a 2 day sale that ends tonight. If Jet Blue comes and goes from where you live you might be able to get a good deal...just thought I would pass along the info :)
