But not necessary in that order, Our initial plan was to drive down to Disneyland and take a day trip to Las Vegas. With the cost of fuel and the frequent "deals" on flying down to Anaheim we decided to make this trip about natural wonders.

About us. Hubby and I have made speed trips in sedans from Fresno to Vancouver in 24 hours, so we are accustomed to long hours on the road. Our kids to well for four hour spells at a time.

Our gut instinct was to take I-5 down to CA and cut over where ever. But I have read about others going through SLC. From there it is a little sketchy for me. From the maps I have looked at - it seems like SLC to Vegas and from Vegas to Grand Canyon would be the most feasible. This would also give the kids a break in Circus Circus for a "commercialism" break. Is there another route that would prevent us from doubling back? RT 89 for instance?

We are driving a SVC and will be eating a lot of RV prepared meals - I was wondering if someone could direct me to fail safe meal ideas that are kid friendly.. I don't seem to have much luck in finding this in my searches.

This site is awesome and I will be checking back on it when I am on the road... Thanks for reading my long winded thread.
