To put a slight nuance on our plans, we are taking off with a variation on the Vanagon suggestion, but not exactly camping. We would like to drive in whichever direction we end up going (east toward Mt. Rainier or southwest toward Olympic National Park) and staying at a hotel or resort close to the scenery, so we can maximize our day trips. I do prefer the coast, but we'll be on a cruise the week before, so it may be a better idea to go inland and experience the mountains. If we do that, will we run out of things to do after a day or so of driving around and looking at beautiful vistas?
