Hello to all,

We are planning on taking a roadtrip from L.A. to Vancouver, WA in mid-March. We are considering moving to WA and wanted to check out a few cities in the Vancouver area. We would be taking our 3 kids (5, 3 and 7mos.) and have roughly 10 to 12 days. Just a few questions:

1) Are we crazy doing this with kids?
2) Primary purpose is just to get to WA as quickly as possible - roughly how long would it take to get there (probably can do 10 hrs. a day without kids driving us nuts). On the way back, we would love to do some minor sight-seeing and take it a bit slower.
3) How much cash do you think we would need? Primarily for hotels, food, and gas.
4) Will likely take I5 all the way - are we likely to encounter snow in March?

Any suggestions you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
