Seattle to Vermont in December
Gpt to do it, want to spend Christmas with the kiddos so what route would you suggest, would I 84 to I 80 be better than just taking I 90 across? Coming back in Jan won't be an issue as we have tons...

I think a sleeper would be less expensive than driving an RV and/or staying in hotels. It's 3 nights, IIRC, to cross the US, and about $100/night.
Amtrak routes go through beautiful areas. Straight through Glacier National Park, for example! The routes are often out of sight of any roads, just going through national forests and grasslands.
$100 a night! I wish it was that cheap! For coach it's about that. More like $1000.00 - $1200.00 total for bedroom on a trip like that.
It was about $100 a night this spring, the last time I got a sleeper.
If you are being quoted a sky-high price like that, try different dates. Amtrak prices like airlines (sort of). They sell the cheapest slots first. But they have a LOT of the cheapest ones, and if you have even a little flexibility on dates you can get the good price.
The seat is about $350-400 per person for the whole round trip, and the bed is in addition. Beds are prices per night, so you don't have to get one for every night if for some reason you don't want to.
