Aaaaah what a great road trip. I drove from SF to Seattle several years ago to drop off a friend at college. Beautiful drive. Hmmm let's see.. The gum wall in SLO is.. interesting? Might be fun as long as your child stays far away from the walls. Go check out the lion seals on pier 39 in San Francisco! If you take a slight detour, crater lake is really cool. I'm pretty sure there are barges that go to the island in the middle. If not you can always hike down and jump in! If you want to risk a two year old with sugar check out voodoo donuts in Portland. I'm more then a little jealous.. Have fun! Also, all photos stolen shamelessly from google.
Crater lake is well worth it. Ah, godspeed there. As I think more about it, a roadtrip could help in a funeral buildup.. Enough time to recollect, enough to ready oneself.
