[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bringing this thread back up as my family is considering a similar trip. We will have a 3 year old and a 9 month old and were thinking to do Seattle > San Juan Islands or Whidbey > Vancouver over 10 days. We have been to Seattle before and will be staying with friends (point being we are looking to spend time with them as opposed to sight see). Is that insanely ambitious given the ages of our kids (this will be our first extended trip with both). Priority is nature so we can lob off Vancouver if what I'm thinking is not feasible.

Seattle 2-3 nights, Island 3-4 nights, Vancouver 2 nights? [/quote]

We did a similar trip with much older kids, and did longer at each stay.  I would skip Vancouver under these circumstances.  Adds a lot of travel time each way, including the uncertainty of the border crossing.  Also one more packing/unpacking process.  With kids that young I don't think it's worth it.  Also, when taking the ferries, remember you need to budget arriving at the ferry terminal around 45 minutes before sailing, and 10 minutes-ish to load up/drive off.  So add an hour to the sailing time when thinking about your schedule. [/quote]
