Re: Going to Seattle... Should we drive or fly?
It is. However how much is it worth to you to be cooped up in a car for days with your lovely brats or 3 hours in a plane. I'd probably go for the plane myself but then I'm an aviation nut. I think when they become old enough for you to leave at home will be the time you and the missus will go on the road trip of your dreams. Be honest, will they actually be amazed at a cabin located in the wilderness.

We've got a dual DVD setup (Bought by my parents last year when they drove the kids to and all around Colorado!)that will pipe one movie to both screens or operate individually, each kid has a PSP, and both are voracious readers.

Can't say I particularly like the winters here (although there are worse places, I'm sure!
) But it is lovely here in the Pacific Northwest all other times. I hope, whether you fly or drive, that you have an enjoyable time.
