3 weeks from North FL. With Children. A lot of miles before you see anything important.
Option 1. Stay South may be too hot in summer, but best change from FL. South Texas, White Sands NP NM, the 4 cactus Nation Parks near Tucson AZ, Grand Canyon, 4 or 5 NPs in Southern part of UT, Great Sand Dunes CO, and maybe Meteor Crater & Petrified forest AZ, back home
Option 2. Go North. Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, Badlands SD, Back Home..
