Wow, that sounds great!  I have never been to any of those - this sounds like it will be a great trip.  Hopefully you will get a 3G signal out there and be able to tweet-post about your experiences!  :)

If you get to Seattle I recommend the Seattle Aquarium and the SciFi/Rock and Roll Museum. Go on a week day for both. The aquarium is really cool, it's $15-$18 per person but totally worth it.

You could stop by my hometown of Colfax for a visit, I think it's likely I'll be home for the summer, otherwise I'd say maybe you could make a stop in Tri-Cities WA, my college home.

I've been to some of those places. Astoria and the Multnomah Falls a few times. It's beautiful out there.
Hey Kenny when you begin towards east Washington I'd definitely suggest stopping by the Palouse Falls. It a pretty cool sight to see. Also out this way into Whitman county all the crops are just coming up, it looks just like the Windows XP default background.

Really enjoyed the cross-over videos from both parties. Quite fun to see two different takes on the same thing :)

It all looks like lovely country.

Was very sad to see them drive off last night.  We had such a wonderful time!
