Thanks again for the info, as for being to the west coast I have lived in Northern California and Aspen Colorado when I was a teen, so I know how large the area is, my family though, especially my husband has never been west. I wanted to show them what I love about the West coast, but after reading everything I realize I was living a fantasy dream lol. I am interested in maybe flying to the west coast and then renting an RV once there to just go up the west coast. Any other info and ideas would be great. Also I would actually like to do this trip right before summer in the spring actually.
This is how we do it now. We have done the 6,000 mile cross-country RV trip with two kids, 12 & 14. It took us 6 weeks and it was the highlight of our life! The thought of trying to pack it all into 2-3 weeks is daunting. I'm just not into driving flat-out for days on end, seeing America from the front seat of my rig.
We spent 2 weeks in Washington last fall. We toyed with the idea of making it a cross-country CAR trip (we have a Prius.) But in the end, neither of us felt interested in driving for several weeks. Instead, we flew to Seattle, rented a car, and then drove to all the places we wanted to see. It was a great way to see the PNW and when we returned to Georgia we weren't worn out from all the driving.
