Traveling with newborn?

Dedra • Baby #3 Loading
My brother in law is my Lil ones godfather and he lives 3hrs away from us in Charlotte, NC!! He just started worked at the college there so it would be impossible for him and his wife to come to us. My question is when is a good time to travel with my newborn? We're also trying to spend Thanksgiving with them but want them to see baby before that!
