I don't have kids, but I've been on long roadtrips and that doesn't sound relaxing to me. It sounds like a living hell. Two hours a day is torturously slow when you're crossing that much distance, even if you factor in bathroom breaks and assuming you can find enough truly interesting roadside attractions every hundred miles or so. Shit, crossing Nebraska alone is like 7 hours straight driving - that's at least three days by your time schedule. No sane parent wants to spend that much time trapped in a car with a six year old. Unless you looooooove cornfields, there aren't going to be that many fascinating sights to visit. Assuming these people will be leaving each day in the morning, say around 9am, they're going to stop before lunchtime. Hotels don't usually allow check ins until 3pm. What are they going to do in Bumfuck, Idaho with a six year old for four hours? And after they check in, what are they going to do until it's time to go to bed?



Other pertinent questions:

* are these people planning to spend much time at their destination?
* are they going to take the same route back, at the same speed?
* who the hell has that much vacation leave?
* factor in how many hotel nights that is and how much that will cost. Even if you stay in cheap motels for like $50/night (and you do NOT want to do that, trust me) that's almost $700 for accommodations, doesn't include all the extra meals and gas money and you're not even in Portland yet.
