I will be relocating from CA to the Seattle area in Mid August 2007. I am just starting to research this trip. I know that my sons and friends have made the drive but they have not done the scenic routes, instead have made the trip as quickly as possible on major hwys.

I have never driven above Pt. Reyes in Northern California and never into Oregon. I would like suggestions of places to see along our drive and places to stay the night. I understand this is a trip easily made in two days but I would like to make it a three day trip to be able to see some of the sites. In addition, I have an online friend in Euguene that I would enjoy meeting.

I am very much into photography and especially flower photography. My first suggestion was that we take the coast routes to get the most scenic views.

I look forward to your suggestions and advice. I am very happy to have found this board. I love Tripadvisor.com and may also post there with this question. I've never planned a road trip before and thank you in advance for your assistance.
