Ever since we got back from the honeymoon we've been talking about all of the trips we would like to take before we have kids. Has anyone done a cross country trip out to California? I'm thinking we could rent a SUV for the drive out there and then fly back. Any suggestions on what to see and where to stay would be appreciated! I would like to hit Mt. Rushmore, Vegas (which i've been to many times, but DH has never), the Grand Canyon and LA down to San Diego. What are other must see sights on the way out there?

nope, but we did drive 17 hrs straight to South carolina - my only suggestion is that you load up an iPod with GREAT music.... it was definitely a bonding experience!
Our theme song for that trip was 'it's the end of the world (as we know it)' by R.E.M.

we had to drive up to minnesota to pick up a third driver so we were able to hit up the rockies, then we saw the grand canyon, hoover dam, vegas, hollywood, and finally ended up in san fran. it was an awesome trip, i really enjoyed it!

That is a dream of ours! We have driven 24 hours down to Key West. Our Theme Song was 'Margaritaville' LOL we can't even hear the song now without getting sad about NOT being in KW.
I can't wait to plan the CA trip. We are planning on driving both ways so I want to do a few things on the way there and a few things on the way back. Can't wait!
AAA is very helpful with roadtrips!! They will help you plan and help you find deals!
