This my idea for our big summer of '09 vacation. We will have about 17 days. I want to visit Yosemite, Monterey, the Redwoods, up the Oregon coast to Seattle.
My last day of work is Friday, June 5th that school year. If our school calendar remains the same for 09/10 school year, I will have to return to work on August 12, 2009. So my travel window for this trip is June 5- August 8 (I want to be home by this date). For the waterfalls at Yosemite, it seems early June is best, but I'm not sure early/mid June is best for the rest of the trip. June Gloom in N. Ca/ coast??
By brother lives in Anchorage, so my girls and I (almost 10 and 12 at the time of the trip) MIGHT fly from Seattle to ANC. Dh would need to return to work. We could do this first and meet dh and start in Seattle or end there.
I would book for Yosemite a year in advance. Willing to spend a lot of money on a great place here. Most of our other lodging would be Hiltons using points, so we could splurge here!
I know very little about this area! We are spending a week in DLR/ Santa Monica this June. We have visited San Diego in the past. I want to take our time and see the sights!
Thoughts, help, ideas! I will search this forum for more info too! TIA
