Your route indicates you are going through Lawton Ok, so stop at Ft Sill for their Museum, also there is the Holy City over in the Wichita Mountains park. A place called Meers is an old mining place in the same park, used to have some good burgers (dont know if circle K or not), but is interesting. On the way down you can go to salisaw and see the lakes/locks up in the tulsa area. Visit the hot springs over in arkansas. Really not a lot to see on the route to amarillo, but again in amarillo is the big texan steak house was a fair place to eat. Bell helicopter has/had a large maintenance facility at the old airbase there also. Look at the Cadillac graveyard just out side of town on I 40.
Over in NM just a little west of where you plan to hit I 25 is Angle Fire the 1st official Vietnam war memorial in the US. About 100 miles or so from I 25. Along the way is whittington the NRA ranch and the Boy Scouts Philmont ranch is also along the way outside of cimmeron. Nice optical illusion to be found along the road as you go downhill and the stream goes uphill! You can go to Taos NM and up into durango than over to Pagosa springs for some soaking in hot springs. One of the places has an rv park but you will need reservations they are not expensive. Also on way back to I 25 in colo is the great sand dunes monument to visit. When you get to colo springs well thats an area of its own, lots of tourist traps if ya know what I mean.
