After sitting on a beach in 2016 at the kids' behest, it was our turn to organise the holiday. We decided on a road trip to the West Coast of America. We went on a similar trip back in 2006 when Nick took a six week sabbatical. However the kids don't remember that 'vacation' as they were so young - so here we go again...a sort of 'best of' with other bits. Sam's not with us as he's opted for Camp America to teach golf! So it's Nick, two teenage girls and Jo who has planned this trip with lawyer like meticulousness. Enjoy.
Itinerary -
Phoenix (via Houston)
Grand Canyon
Zion NP
Las Vegas
Mammoth Lakes
Yosemite NP
San Francisco
Pismo Beach
Santa Monica
