Hi Everyone!! We are driving down to Vegas for a tradeshow

Hello, I am a long time lurker 1st time poster...
My wife and I have been dreaming to take this trip for over 5 years now hehe

Planning to make a few stops along the way.. we have 2 kids under 5 and 2 grandparents along for the trip

I have read in here that the LA traffic is a time drainer, is it similar in SF?

We are departing Van, bc July 27 9am and plan to stop in Seattle for lunch and to buy a 1 month t-mobile data/cellular plan....cant live without my iphone apps :P
Vancouver to 7 Feathers 500 milles
Hoping to make it to Seven feathers hotel/casino by 8-9pm

July 28 leave 7 feathers and head for SF (455 miles)
Stay in SF for 2 days/3 nights
planning to visit the zoo and the science center.

Depart SF July 31 and head to LV (567 miles)
Stay until Aug 5 and then head back home.

Leave LV and head back to SF for one night

We would really like to take the opportunity to drive the 101 but don't know where it would be feasible to hop on. Would SF to Crescent city to 7 feathers hotel be an impossible 1 day drive. If it is too long to undertake we are considering going from SF to 7 feathers and then the next morning driving up to Albany and visiting Newport then either go north from there and them get back onto I5 via Cannon beach to Portland and continue all the way back to Vancouver and arrive home late at night.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope it made sense.
