Or at least, that’s my hope as my family and I embark upon a 22-day road trip, touring four national parks, six family-friendly resorts, eight states, and a partridge in a pear tree. Well, maybe not that last one (which means it’s sure to show up on auto bingo, right?).
Where are we going?
Glacier National Park
Yellowstone National Park
Grand Teton National Park
Zion National Park
with overnights and multi-night visits at many mountain and family resorts, all of which we’ll be reviewing!
I’ll be posting ‘A Pit Stop a Day’ during our travels
(as WiFi availability allows), and hope you’ll follow along as I document our progress with texts and photos on Twitter using the hashtag #apitstopaday. Throughout our trip and after we return, you can expect extensive reviews on not only the best potty break locations (although those are worth their weight in gold), but on all the “Off the Beaten Path” resorts and attractions we visited.
If you need further incentive to stick with us as we make our way along the interstates and highways of the western U.S., Pit Stops for Kids will have not one, but TWO great giveaways introduced during our road trip!
Details to follow in the next few days, so make sure you’re following us on Twitter and ‘liking’ us on Facebook so you don’t miss out on opportunities to win!
Below is our general route. Our first stop: Portland, Oregon, where we’ll be reviewing the Portland Spirit Sightseeing Cruise and the Hyatt Place hotel!

Good for you! Sounds like a great trip. We’re doing a 47-day trip right now (in South Dakota as we speak) and I need to add up how many national and state parks we’ll be visiting. I also loved your map. Very cool!
How wonderful! I’d love for you to submit some pit stops along the way or perhaps write a guest article upon your return?
Sounds like a great trip. We are headign out on a much smaller road trip of 10 days and hitting Portland, too. Can’t wait! have fun and thanks for the tips!
Thanks for commenting! Glad the info helped in your planning, and have a great trip!
