When I did the trip this summer I did it on my own with the kids. I was surprised at how many people seemed so shocked that I would go alone with the kids. why the hell not? If I waited for someone to take me every time I wanted to go on an adventure, I'd never leave the damn province. In the end, one of the best experiences for all three of us.
but roadtrippin is not for everyone. If I have my music, my sunglasses, my camera, and a map, I'm golden.
