15. Drive to the west coast or up and down the west coast

This is something my best friend bugged me to do a bunch of years ago and I never did. I basically want to go on a two-week car ride.

It probably will happen when I get my Tesla. Not having to pay for gas and crossing the country seems like a pretty sweet deal. (Tesla has, "gas stations," where you can charge you car for free.)

I'm an American and driving is supposed to be an American thing. I want to see the desert out west and the Rocky Mountains. I want to see the Pacific Ocean from the west coast.

As far as planning this trip goes, I know I'm going to need at least two weeks off of work, and something to do with my kids for two weeks. I'll need a destination, (completely arbitrary though,) and some kind of plan.

It's 35 hours to drive non-stop from my house to Portland, Oregon. I don't think that's my goal, but it's on the coast. Depending on who I do this with, (wife or best friend,) that makes it seem pretty doable.

I know Seattle has microbreweries and I'm not sure what else. San Francisco has, I dunno now, tech stuff?

I'll have to plan more of this later.
