Which parks do I NEED to see?
We are leaving from Montreal and going mostly towards the west coast. East coast is easy to do on other years when I get less vacation time. We have 2 months to see as much as possible while enjoying...

I ruined a few family vacations by trying to do too much and trapping the kids inside a vehicle for too many hours on too many days.
That is one of my worry. We have to find our family's balance on the first days. How much can we travel and still all enjoy ourselves? I will definitely pay special attention to that.
For us, it's more the number of days of travel in a row that will do us in. We have traveled 650 miles in one day to get to a destination. Then rest for 2 days, then travel for 400 miles, then rest, etc.
The kids (and parents) need a few days to play in the campground pool, swing sets and see the surrounding area. I am finding that most major cities have fun attractions for the kids. If you stay put for 2 or 3 days and run into town for a few hours one day to visit a museum, that will probably go over well instead of being in a car every. single. day. We prefer this over moving even 100 miles every day. That gets tiresome.
