yosemite, lake tahoe, san francisco. San Diego is nice as well, dont bother with LA

I agree about LA but id also sack off San Diego.

I'd spend my time around Vegas/Laughlin and then head up to Lake Tahoe (there will be no snow) and Reno. Then go across to San Francisco via Yosemite.

I know there are loads of six flags in there, ive got the season pass for all the parks, cost $54 because i bought it through Magic Kingdom LA, if you buy it through Kentucky its only $24.99. Problem is you have to activate it at your 'home park' Colorado and Utah yet to be sorted.

I decided to head up to Cincinnati because last time i drove up through DC and Phillidelphia - The world's worst drive ever. Every 20 miles a toll, full of proper slow knob head drivers. Can't do with it, so its by pure chance were going via Cincinnati en route to Niagra Falls. Will have to call at yours for a few beers Ill have kids in tow naturally

I'd agree with flutterby, San Francisco is great.

Leave out the Golden Gate bridge if you've ever crossed the Forth Road Bridge though, they're just the same except different colours.;)

Alcatraz was the highlight of San Francisco for us.

spend as long as you can in the grand Canyon, though it still won't be long enough.
