David, You'll have enough to carry around with two small kids... travel light. If you have the opportunity to see a launch from Canaveral, take the 70-200 (and an extender). if you get the chance to go to the Everglades and shoot the birds, same answer. But at Disneyworld and Epcot, I'd go with mid-range 28-105 and your flash, although you won't need much in the way of flash unless you're planning on doing serious work with some fill flash outdoors. As to flash, buy the 580... it's the better of the two imho. Jane
