[Alvaradofamily]

Hi everyone :)

So happy to find this forum and thank you so much before hand .. this is our first road trip lasting more then a week so all advice is love! My husband and I are bringing our two youngest with us (6 & 9) .. and our rolling motel aka done up mini van! So no hotels needed, and we will be skipping restaurants unless it is something we really are interested in .. waste of time in our eyes and we are more of the outdoor family! we are leaving the second week of August and will see how long it takes us .. have the map on the wall, a binder full of info I put together, and a map of every state!!

Okay so route planned .. obviously we won't be doing every last thing, but here is what is on our route .. with lot's of extra stops listed in case the kids need a break, or we just wanna stop .. looking for an amazing stops near route we missed, or things I should miss .. ways to cut roads (although we are doing byways, especially wildlife loop, needles, beartooth) .. basically anything from the experienced.
