What a long, strange road trip it will be.

In a few weeks, I will be driving from Pittsburgh, PA to Seattle, WA with my sister and her dog. I could not be more excited. I’m turning to you, Tumblr, for suggestions on where we absolutely have to stop, what we can skip, and any routes you’ve taken that you found to be particularly wonderful. Please comment here or hit up my ask box. I appreciate all opinions! I’m also open to ideas for packing food for the trip, what are some needed in-the-car items that were life savers on your trip, etc.

Help?
