I hate to say it, but the 11th month old is the lowest common denominator and will impact the trip...just be sure in seven years he gets the same trip with Dad, gets the same memories.
You know, you might have something there. Fly the wife+11 month and road trip the 2 boys in the Roach

School, I am OK with pulling them out for a month and have them do HW on the road daily.

On the Westy Angle, I found this on craigslist for $10k...

Awesome 1989 Volkswagen Westfalia Weekender Camper Van. This van is owned by a lunatic car enthusiast and was mainly used to go to and from vintace car races. The van is very, very clean inside and out.

165K miles on the 2.2 liter watercooled engine. The engine and transmission both operate like new. (One Owner) I Bought this van new and have kept it garaged since new. I have also kept Amsoil in both the engine and Transmission since new.
