14 Hours Driving Across 4 States: Starting Our 11 day American West Road Trip!

We’re hoping this trip becomes one of those core memories for our kids. It’s our first cross-country family road trip with 11 days through the American West.

This video covers the first two days: about seven hours of driving each day from Seattle through Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. The drives were long, but the scenery made it worth it.

This is just the beginning of our road trip series, so stay tuned for more adventures ahead!
