12 days 3400 miles coast to coast with kids
This summer I have 12 days to get from Portland Oregon to NYC. 3400 miles. Wife, nine year old twins, two dogs and a cat. Major stops along the way include Mount Rushmore, Niagara Falls, and Boston...

I agree not enough time to be truly enjoyable.
I understand you have to make the most of the allowable time. But that schedule just seems just to hectic/rushed/ambitious to truly enjoy the adventure.
Yep, we are certainly pushing it. We'll have to decide on the Boston leg of the trip once we are near Niagara Falls. However, once we leave NYC for the second half of the trip we'll take it at a much more leisurely pace. After NYC we shoot down to DC, then maybe New Orleans. Point being is that once we leave NYC we won't be in such a rush. My preference is to limit driving to about six to eight hours a day with plenty of "no drive" days.
