So, after years of timesharing, we are considering possibly mixing it up a little and seeing if we can get a road trip planned for an upcoming summer (2013 & beyond).
We are a family of four, kids are now about 9 yrs young. We likely will be doing this journey in our minivan (rather than rent a car or RV).
We are seeking any advice, such as (but NOT only):
1) paths to take
2) things to see (like along the way)
3) shortfalls to be aware of
4) ways to minimize nightly accommodation costs (open to non-cash options such as private exchanges for timeshare stays)
5) additional end-destinations to Yellowstone and Rushmore
6) best times of day or summer to travel/do things
7) things to see and do at Yellowstone and Rushmore
I am sure there are many more things to consider, but this trip was just thought about last night!
Any and all suggestions are welcomed! Maybe some of you have already done a similar trip?
