My mom and I have decided to plan a 3-week vacation along the coast of Oregon, Washington, & British Columbia. I will actually be splitting the vacation in half with my my mom & husband - half with my mom and half with my husband. I will also be traveling with my son who, at only three (four when we go), already loves traveling!

Our first question is when to go? We are thinking spring - possibly early May or early June. We want to avoid the crowds as much as possible. So summer is out. But is spring better than fall?

Second question is if this is doable in three weeks or not? Will we see enough? Or would we be better off just doing two of the three? There is a lot to choose from. So we are going to be choosy. But want to be able to also see as much as possible.

Now to start researching and planning and thinking. Fun stuff! Oh and trying to decide which half to do with mom and which to do with my husband (who would love to go on the whole trip but has to work)!

Thanks in advance. And I am sure my research and planning will lead to loads of questions. Looking forward to it so much. I seriously love traveling. And road trips are some of my favorite.

You will find the weather is likely to be much better in the fall. Summer tends to begin about the 4th of July and last until October. Springs are pretty rainy.

my daughter lives in portland and it was 102 degrees on 7/11/07! probably unusual and hopefully the heat won't last.

I think the weather in June is likely to be cool and possibly rainy
I agree fall might be a better choice
I live in Oregon and it seems to me that we cant count on good weather until after the 4th of Jul

Have fun- it will be a beautiful trip

Sept is still usually pretty nice weather around here and not much rain

Inland can be beautiful too. I think I might go nuts fron 3 straight weeks at the beach.
