Only a few more weeks until we head out for our massive two-week family road trip!!!!! I can't believe that, after about a year of planning, it's almost here. So excited!!!
You can see the interactive outline of our trip HERE. (For some reason I can't figure out how to insert a screen shot or to
embed the google map, so you'll just have to click on the link to see
the details.)
Yellow pins show where we're sleeping, black pins are restaurants recommended from a "road trip foods" book I read awhile back, and the other pins are activities/hikes/sights in each general areas we're staying. (Restaurants near our campsites/hotels are all tagged in my guidebooks, in case we don't have cell service in the national parks.) As you can imagine, I've read more than a couple guidebooks and read more website recommendations than you can shake a stick at. Hopefully I will have achieved my goal of having a "good enough" sense of what our options are in each area, without going overboard and micromanaging our schedule either. Knowing the three of us, we will need the chance to be a little spontaneous or we just might kill either other after 16 days crammed in my little Subaru and our 3-person pup tent! Besides, if we like it, we can always plan to go back again in a future year. :)
If you have any last-minute tips for us, please let me know! I've already started a packing list, a to-do list for Mike the week before we leave, and a things-to-buy-with-our-dividends-during-the-Memorial-Day-sale-at-REI list...

I totally recommend Bear Country USA in Rapid City. Its a drive through zoo with a smaller walk-though area at the end. Ben and I went through there on our way to Idaho.
