I'm doing the reverse.... but not quite Detroit/Chicago.

I'm going to spend about 10 days on a touring/driving trip with the family starting Aug 21. We will leave Toronto and go to the USA via Niagara Falls.

So far my itinerary is fairly vague and I would LOVE any suggestions or feedback.

Destinations that we want to hit are: Boston, Washington DC (My kids loved Team America, the cartoon, and want to see the White House)

Is there a good route? Should I hit Boston first, then swing down to DC? Or the other way around? I'm worried that it might be too hot that far south.

- are there any good family hotels in those places ?

(my standard is the wonderful Holiday Inn Express in Saint John New Brunswick, which was modern, downtown, cheap and had a great pool and free breakfast and parking - so far even the so-called quality chains such as the Delta can't match this place)

- Does the Smithsonian provide family packages? is there anything that the young crowd would enjoy there?

- any experience from TFPers with respect to taking electronics across the border? do I have to register lap tops, MP3 players etc? Is it a good idea to leave burned DVDs behind?
