4runnerguy: thanks for the info.
I do like the idea of Colorado, and the mountain streams. I think that is what we are looking for, something that is not planned every day like Disney was. I have even thought of packing the trailer and letting the kids pick a direction to travel. Just make it an adventure! lol not knowing where the final destination is, just drive and stop when and where we want to. my only issue with that is finding campgrounds to stay at. I don't like to stay at rundown little places where someone has to stand guard all night. I would rather pay a little more and have a level(sometimes) camp site and a little security. I am not against staying at walmart or other places of business overnight while traveling. we had planned on doing that for our Disney trip but my onboard generator crapped out on me a couple of months prior to the trip.
I have thought about an Arkansas/Missouri trip as well. when I was a kid we traveled AR most of the time. I still have a few memories of us pulling the pop up thru the mountains, looking out the truck and seeing the edge of the cliff right out the window!
2gypsies: thanks for the link to the perfect family vacation.
there are a lot of good ideas here, I am glad we have 5 months to think about it more. Maybe like I said, we just need to pack up and head out for an "adventure of a lifetime"
