Glad you feel better about the mound of stuff to deal with!

As a frequent cross country rover with a little kid in tow, I'm tellin ya, unless BOTH your kids are very good travelers and fall asleep in cars for hours and hours at a time, fly.

When you're travelling with a two year old you should stop the car every two or three hours and let them run around for 1/2 an hour, just to keep them sane.

2000 miles is what we moved in a U-Haul and it took us four days of steady driving, stopping only for gas, food, and sleep. DD was 2 1/2 and we let her romp every time we stopped somewhere that had grass, and tried to stop to eat at places that had playspaces, but like I said, four days. I was exhausted and I hardly drove.

I thought Wyoming was beautiful, actually. We drove through Missouri, naturally, or as I dubbed it, "the big easy-bake oven", Nebraska (flat, flat, and more flat--no other place is as flat as that), Wyoming (mesas with "rocks" on top a la Wyle E. Coyote, no kidding), Utah (an austere beauty that reminded us of the Scottich Highlands), Idaho (Twin Falls at sunset, spectacular), and of course, Oregon, through the Gorge, unequalled splendor.

Honestly with two such very young ones, I say fly, but please feel free to ignore me.
