I am planning a road trip in the first two weeks of August, anchored by the Oregon Festival of American Music in Eugene, OR. While in Eugene I will be staying at the Inn on the Fifth. My current plan is to drive due south on Hwy 97/I97 from Kelowna, BC, to Yakima, WA, spend one night there, then along the Columbia River Gorge to Portland, OR, where I may spend one or two nights, before heading to Eugene. On the return leg, I would like to head to the coast, perhaps stay overnight somewhere near McMinnville, then head up I5 to Seattle. I am an aviation fan and would like to do the Boeing tour in Everett. From there I would cross the border at Surrey and head home up the Coquihalla Highway.
I've visited Seattle but it was a long time ago; everywhere else would be new to me. My time is flexible . Does this seem like a reasonable itinerary? What are the must see places? Favorite places to stay (hotels or B&Bs)? Is it worthwhile bringing my golf clubs? Your suggestions would be much appreciated.
