Attractions between NJ and Yellowstone
My wife and I are first time RV'ers driving from NJ to Yellowstone with 2 kids (11 & 9) this August. What are some of the attractions not to be missed along the way? We're thinking of doing day stop...

BTW, CloudDriver & geotex1, which route did you take? Using googlemaps it takes me through I80 W through IN and then I94 W the rest of the way. Is this the most direct route?
I'd stay on I-80 through Iowa. At the west edge of IA you'd take I-580 to I-29. (I-80 swings south at this point to Council Bluffs, IA and would add 40-50 miles to your trip.) I-29 follows the Missouri River Valley north through Sioux City, then on to Sioux Falls where you'd pick up I-90 west.
You could head up to I-90 just past Chicago, but the last time I was across Minnesota on I-90 the road was really rough. My wife came back from a trip to NJ with her son once and had to take that route because of flooding on I-80. She didn't like it at all, even after they finally found their way out of Chicago! ;)
EDIT: I agree wholeheartedly with everything stated above by CloudDriver.
