My 70-year-old father has asked me to plan a roadtrip for him. He wants to take a roadtrip to 'see all of the things you see in the movies' but has never seen in person.

He and his wife will be starting in Kansas and have Seattle in mind for their end destination. I'm not sure where to begin as far as planning, so I'm hoping to find some information here. They want to go in July. They don't care how long they are gone, but they do want to have about 3 overnight stays on the 27-hour ride to WA.

I asked him what he wanted to see and the only thing he could say for sure was Mt. Rushmore. That's a start!

Any tips you can provide would be greatly appreciated. What is not to miss, where to stay, big or small, we would love to hear your suggestions! Thank you in advance.
