My list includes:
Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, Grand Canyon, Everglades and the one city I'd like to get to is DC. There are many more, but these are at the top of the list.
Other must see trips that we've completed include: Statue of Liberty, NYC, Atlantic ocean, Liberty Bell, Smokies, Disney, Niagara Falls, Great Lakes, Mammoth Cave.
Honestly... aside from Yellowstone and the GC, your list is missing out on the best scenic parts of the states, that being the beauty of the west. Call me biased but that would be an extreme shame to only see the eastern areas and not the west. Just driving through areas in the west, you get a sense of the vast expanse and amazing scenery in the west you just can't get back east. And yes, I do extensive travel for work and have been all over this country having been to every state minus about 2. Alaska being my favorite for pure, natural beauty.
Besides, Manhattan/NY area is best served via hotels to really take it in and get the "experience" other than living there.
Yes I'd love to take them west. However, we can only take two weeks of vacation at one time and we're in Michigan. So to get there, we'd have to fly and that's cost prohibitive.
