I can do rammed packed touring for a few days. I would never last 14 days. My son was just up here for a week with his 4 and 2.5 year olds. By the end of the week, 4 year old needed to be back in his own bed, on a schedule and getting his nap in. I have so much I want to do with the kids but I think it needs to be spread out.

With a six year old, I would go for quality, not quantity. You don't need to see or do it all.

Feeling like you missed out is an attitude. Go with the attitude you are having some nice family time together not seeing everything and you will have a great time. I have also learned with kids, seeing less with a happy, relaxed child is 10 times better than seeing more with a tired cranky one. My rule of thumb was when a child (even just one of my three) was beginning to show tiredness, leave and relax. The time after tiredness sets in is not fun.
