We are going on our first family road trip. Two adults and two kids ages 9 and 1. We're thinking of driving from Monterey CA up to Vancouver and back, with stops in Portland and Seattle to visit friends. We have two weeks to do this, right now schedule looks like last week of July into first week of August.
What are some good places to stop on the way? Something fun and educational for the kids. We're not into wine so no need to stop in wine country. We also live on the coast so not a big need to stop by beaches etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, would it be better to go up 101 or 5?
thanks!
