Thinking about a trip across country
I am probably being too ambitious based on my set up but I have been itching to take myself and my family out west for a family camping Trip. Here are my two major concerns and maybe you fine folks ...

Having made several long trips, and another one planned for this year, we always plan on trying to be shut down by 5 pm every night when were driving. Since I have a pop-up, we will stay in a hotel/motel on the drive to avoid having to spend the time opening it up for just a quick overnight stay.
Since you don't have to worry about that, I'd look for campsites that have things for the kids, swimming...etc that will let them burn off their pent up energy from the day and it has at least worked well for us so far.
You might want to pick a few places along the way that are worth staying at for a couple of days to give everybody a chance to mentally refresh for the rest of the trip.
Look at the Black Hills in SD as a possible end destination spot. We were there a couple of years ago and had a really great time. You can either do a lot or a little and still have fun.
Awesome advice! thanks and you aren't the first that has recommended the black hills. great idea on the pool thing and shutting down at 5pm every day.
