When do you plan to leave? Going south from VA the first stops that occur to me are Shenandoah NP and Mammoth Caves NP if you haven't been to those sites. I'd take I-44 from St Louis down to I-40 and that to NM. New Mexico is full of places to go. Leaving NM north on I-25 thru CO will take you close to Great Sand Dunes and later Rocky Mountain NP. In WY you can take US20 west to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. That brings you to the east side of ID. There are all sorts of small attractions and parks along these routes.
I'd take I-90 back which would bring you thru the Black Hills and pass close to Devils Tower in WY. Then Badlands NP.
