Not a downer, but the truth. Who knows if next year you'll need your time off for a surgery instead of a vacation. Maybe someone gets laid off. You just never know.
I absolutely would NOT miss Niagara. If you've never been there and you won't be in the area again, just go. It's best seen from the Canadian side, but it's a tourist trap over there. Not sure if you want to consider crossing the border or not. Adults need passports (kids under 18 need birth certificates).
Yes, your itinerary is ambitious, but I completely see where you're coming from. Our kids are 11, 9, and 5 and we both work. It's hard to squeeze it all in. This year we are driving 550 miles in one day, and next year it will be 700. It's not for everyone but sometimes it's the only way to actually get anywhere unless you fly, and that's cost prohibitive for us. If you have young kids, my guess is you're in your 30s or 40s anyway and not retirement age. Totally doable.
