As we plan for the first stop, I've been reading a lot online as well as watching several UA-cam videos about how to prepare for Glacier National Park. We'll be spending 3 days there and here's what I've learned so far: • We should probably stay 5 days to see more, but we have other places to be. • Have Bear Spray... just in case.

    You are set! That's a lot of clothes, but it packs pretty small and is much more convenient than suitcases. Good preparation helps avoid problems on the way/ But the problems, and how we handle them are what we remember. Traveling with children is something I have no experience with so I look forward to watching your trip.

    Wow, the trip from bend to sf is gonna be tough! Might want a backup spot to stay in Ukiah or Santa Rosa. Once you go past Ukiah, it’s pretty scenery but no towns to take a break in until Santa Rosa. If you’re tired by Ukiah, just be safe and stay there IMO. Hope the trip is awesome!!

    Excellent idea to give the kids a job. A responsibility, a challenge to look forward to. We stayed one night at a nice hotel with a pool, but the pool was empty except for about 8 inches of stagnant, scummy, dirty water with trash laying in it. Imagine going out to jump in the pool and seeing that!

    If you're going to Denver anyway, I highly recommend swinging down to the 'Garden of the Gods' (it has nothing to do with religion) in Colorado Springs. It's about an hour and a half north of Denver. I've seen a lot of beautiful, amazing and incredible things in my life but very few compare to GotG. Have a wonderful trip.

    I'm not sure why, but I think I preferred the camera from the last video. I thought it was crisper. The sound on both seems the same to me. Both were very clear. Just watched all four parts. This sure looks like an amazing family trip! And it was cool to hear that you are using my rolls of quarters suggestion! I'm looking forward to seeing how things really go once you get started.

    • @SodasOnTheRoad
      @SodasOnTheRoad 15 днів тому

      The kids are SO excited about the quarters, haha! Thank you for that suggestion. They keep asking all kinds of questions about the rules. "What if someone bugs me? Do I get the quarter?" "What if we say we are tired?" "What if they touch me?" We need to come up with a legal document!

      Just a different camera. Not quite as wide a lens, and I think it does a little better at balancing the brightness of the sun and colors. I love both cameras 🙂 Video 3 is an action camera (waterproof). Video 4 is the camera in this video: ua-cam.com/video/MmZUi3LSc6s/v-deo.htmlsi=xgijbM0AbFHw-NIX Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

    If you don’t want to go all the way to Portland, Maine, Ogunquit is about 20 minutes into the state. It has a beautiful 1 mile walk from the beach along the cliffs by the ocean, call the Marginal Way. The path ends up in a small harbor known as Perkins Cove. There is a little shack in Perkins Cove called the footbridge lobster and they have the absolute best and freshest lobster rolls in the country. :-) it’s a beautiful small town with all the feels of Maine. Much more Maine-like than Portland. And just a quick drive over the state line. I loved that video of you and your mom. ❤

    That’s covering a lot of ground in a short time… sounds like crazy fun. Couple of thoughts… If you’ve got somebody who loves the NBA… you may want to consider passing through Springfield, MA to see the basketball hall of fame! Rhode Island is the best place for clam chowder… and the only place with three unique variations of clam chowder. When in Maine… the seafood to try is a Lobster roll… ridiculously delicious! ua-cam.com/video/jcws8DacFII/v-deo.htmlsi=QicZUDa-9ama64Jo
