Be sure to drive the coastal area of Oregon. Ashland Ore is a nice
place to stop and visit Crater Lake. Both Portland and Seattle are
very nice cities. Mt. St Helen of course. Olympic NP is definitely
worth a visit. Vancouver definitely. Victoria to see the garden.

Your two weeks is a little tight. But you can have a very enjoyable
trip.
