OK, thanks for the route ideas, I will copy and paste these suggestions into my word doc that I have for info on this trip.
As far as the 7 year old, we realize that it is going to be a lot of riding for him, but we are hoping to not be too rushed and have too big of days driving. We are taking a personal DVD player and a number of kids DVD's. Also, we have a number of kids books about the states and some follow along type maps, with one that is a scratch off as we travel through the states. Grandma also borrowed some hand held video games from a friend just for this trip. He normally does not get to play with games of this type, so we hope they will help keep him from being bored.
After the CA portion of this trip we are heading up the coast and ending up in the Portland area where our oldest son lives with his family. We want the 7 year old to be able to spend some time with his 2 cousins. The older one is about his age and unfortunately they do not get the opportunity to see each other as often as we would like.
Thanks for the help!
Edit to add: Yes I am aware of the temps most likely being 90-100 in the area we are heading, but that is still 5-15 cooler then Vegas. And I just serviced (recovered, vac, recharge and cleaned condenser) my truck AC over the weekend.
