Clara,

Why are you weird? Anyways, about the trip. Have you traveled much of California before? I have many friends from the LA area who have never been further than say Lake Arrowhead, and others who have combed the state. The reason I ask is it will make a difference in your trip, as Judy states.

If you wish to go the quick route, it will still take a considerable amount of time. Judy, how many drivers are you planning to make the trip to Washington in two days? Are they driving round the clock? Sacramento/San Francisco are approximately 300 miles from LA and that takes approximately six hours. Pretty boring travel too on either I-5, 99, 395. I-5 is probably the worst through most of CA. I would also agree with Judy about stopping at Mt St. Helens. I am hoping to stop there soon myself! Happy trails!!
