[quote=Anonymous]You really can't go wrong with either vacation.  The Washington trip was my favorite family trip.  In addition to the Olympics, we did Rainier and the San Juan Islands, and did a day trip with a hike in the North Cascades.  In the Olympics you get the amazing diversity from the coastline to the rainforest to the mountains.  We did berry picking in Sequim as a little side trip. The ferry trips are fun if you are crossing water (though I imagine they get boring as a regular commute for the locals!).  We did a whale watching trip from the San Juans which was very successful.

Yellowstone is great because it is like multiple parks in one.  You have the underground geologic features like the geysers and springs, you have the mountains/canyon/hiking for exploration, and then the hoards of bison and other animals.  We did 4 days (2 nights in West Yellowstone, 2 nights at Canyon Village) and felt that we got enough of the park.  If you are avid hikers, you can certainly take more time.  The Tetons are breathtaking.  You can plan as much time around there as you want, but you'll just want to soak in the scenery.[/quote]
