Mr. Pappy
We are tossing around the idea of a 30 to 45 day round the US camping trip next summer with our 3 oldest grandchildren. They will be 10, 9, and 8 years old. We have a camper that is big enough to handle us comfortably (sleeps 10), and my quad cab Ram will seat the 5 of us in style for the trip, so those things shouldn't be an issue.
We are looking at traveling over Kitty HawK, then up to Williamsburg, then traveling up to DC, the Amish country of Pa., the up to Ct. ( I have a son, DIL, and 2 grandbabies that live there, God help them). Then maybe over to Niagara Falls, thru Canada to Port Huron, down to Indy, across to Des Moines, then to Cody, Wy to spend at least 3 or 4 day in Yellowstone. Travel out the western entrance of YS, to Idaho, then down to Provo, and stay a night or two in Springdale. Cross thru Zion Nat'l Park, to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon for a couple of nights. Leave there for Albequerque, Oklahoma City, and down to Glen Rose Tx to see the Dinosaur Valley Park.( you know the boys will love visiting a place with dino foot prints). Across to Shreveport, then in Pensacola for a 2 or 3 night stay. Travel up to Andersonville to visit the museum there, and then back to good ole northeast Georgia.
Ok, here is where all the well traveled people on GON come in. Along this routing, or with close to this routing, what are some stops that just can't be missed? Is there anywhere I should hit out west, while we are that close. I have talked with Meeno about not doing the northeast loop, but she is pretty set on seeing those grandbabies. We have only seen one of them twice and the other 3 or 4 times. They are 5 and 2 now.
Maybe I should fly her and me up to see them before we did the trip, and cut out the eastern shore stuff? I have already cut out VT, NH, and Me., (I would really like to see those places) to make the trip doable in 42 or 43 days.
Ok, good people, what say you? I can use all the help I can get on planning this trip.
TIA
Pappy.
