I didn't read the entire three pages but here are some things I loved and think will fit your limits. Gettysburg is very high on list, all of the Dakotas and Nebraska, even for boys, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Hwy with stops at Plum Creek the Museum, DeSmet for the homestead site. DC is a must, we are flying back with the DGKs this June. Skip Williamsburg and hit Jamestown and other real Revolutionary and Civil War sites. Skip Congaree NP, do see the Glades and NASA sites in FL. Blue Ridge Parkway. Skyline Drive and The Great Smokey Mountains. Custer, Badlands and any other sites like Wounded Knee, Scotts Bluff, Chimney Rock. Reading a book like Voices of Wounded Knee by William S. E. Coleman is a brilliant insight to complement the history taught in Schools today.
My last comment was not intended to be political only that Coleman wrote a non-judgmental book of facts.
If you have another two or three days I can tell you about the trip we took with the DGKs and the one the DW and I took back your way. I assume you've been to Voyagers, Isle Royal and all of those.
Life is very different back there and we will be taking the DGKs one at a time back to the Middle Coasts and East Coast, they need to see first hand the woods and what life was like back there. We live in a desert and your kids should see our part of the country too, if you want more info PM me and I respond on the forums.
I hope you enjoy giving your kids these experiences as much as we did traveling and tenting with ours and motor homing with the DGKs.
