We were supposed to be flying to Seattle in July so we could go camping with FIL and his family for a few days up there. Every year, they rent a huge camping site for a few days and our plan was to join them for the first time this year.

However.

(You knew that was coming.)

Apparently, we didn't make reservations soon enough and the cost to fly is a little, shall we say, exorbitant? Above our budget? "How many miles do you think it is?" asked my FIL. "How about driving?" I checked and the gas would certainly cost less than flying (yes, he had to help me with the math on that one).

So now on our plate is the possibility of not just a camping trip but a road trip built around a few days of camping in Washington. Between Texas and Washington are a few very gorgeous states and lots of national parks and things to see. If we do this, it's likely we'll spend at least one night in Colorado to see my hubby's cousin and her family. Other than that, it's wide open with possibilities.

Suggestions welcomed! Best route? Sights? Cheap places to spend the night?

This actually makes me really wish we had a Honda Element with the attachment to extend the back so you can sleep in it (complete with privacy curtain).
