Starting to plan next summer's family vacation. Which trip would be more "fun" with an 8 and 6 year old (their ages next summer)?
I would definitely say Yellowstone. They will love all the bubbling mud, geysers and stinkpots. Heck, we loved it and we are over 50.
If you have time, you can go through the black hills along the way and catch Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park.
I check out the Tetons every chance I get...
Route 66 is just a joke. Very little of the original road still exists as Route 66. Part of it is a big interstate freeway- why would you visit that? What is there as Route 66 is about as authentic as the Matterhorn at Disneyland.
We live not far from highway 61, which ran from the Canada/Minnesota border to New Orleans as US61. We drive up the north shore of Lake Superior on what is now called old highway 61. A very pretty drive through nice little lake towns. This was also the highway we used to take before the freeway was built to Minneapolis. Hours and hours of driving through dreary small towns.
