You can skip Florida for now. When your kids are college age they'll go to Florida by themselves and they'd just as soon Mom and Dad weren't along.
Out west is a completely different landscape than they're used to, so that would make a good visit, even if you have to do it in a couple of trips. Roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles round trip to Yellowstone. I recommend short visits to more places out west. Again, they'll go back when they're older.
For what its worth, I remember bits and pieces of Yellowstone and the Black Hills when I tent camped with my folks when I was 7 or 8 years old, 60 years ago. And yes, I've been back several times on my own as an adult. If you "infect" them with the travel bug, they'll do the same thing.
