Denver to East Coast vacation ideas
Hello All. We've got a two week vacation to use July into August this summer. We've got a 16 year old girl that we'd like to inflict some culture on. We're thinking of doing an east coast trip. ...

Oh Boy....
For starters, Denver to Anyplace East coast towing is probably most of three road days (1600mi), Three Long Road Days. But Gettysburg is good. There are few campgrounds in striking range of NYC, but it you could get to Metropoliton Museum of Art or the Natural History Museum it might be worth the effort. Boston is really only a long day from Gettysburg. But again campgrounds are an issue. (Unfortunately I can't help there because when we do go east, we park on friends and if I didn't...)
I will also suggest two stops that will either on your way or easy diversion. The Museum of Western Expansion (the Arch is a good half a day. The best campground is across the river at Casino Queen. Then go north to the Lincoln Library and expect another half day there. Parking is a bear and I can't help.
Just short of Gettysburg is the Flight 93 (Just off Rt 30) it will be a short stop, but your DD was 4 then and I might take some explaining as current school text books seen to blame us for being attacked.
From Gettysburg, you can go on to Philadelphia - lots there. And if you decide to try for Boston, DO NOT route through NYC. Go north to the Tappen Zee Bridge (Nyack and Tarrytown).
If you do go on to Boston, remember to leave four days to get back to the front range.
