If you're into American history, I can't recommend the driving tours of Gettysburg and Yorktown enough.

I was lucky that my parents were big on National Parks as a kid. Plus the summer before my oldest's senior year of HS we took a month long driving trip around the western USA. So thanks to my mom and wife I've been to the following parks.

 

Mammoth Cave

Smoky Mountains

Florida Everglades

Badlands National Park

Bryce Canyon

Carlsbad Caverns

Crater Lake

Death Valley

Grand Canyon

Grand Tetons

Hot Springs

Mesa Verde

Petrified Forest

Redwood Forest

Sequoia

Shenedndoah

Yellowstone

Yosemite

 

Also many of the national monuments including

Craters of the Moon

Devils Tower

Little Bighorn

 

There is so much out there it's stunning. Obviously the big ones are amazing but I really recommend Mesa Verde and Devil's Tower if you get the chance. Northwest and Alaska is our next goal.

 

Same here, every summer we went somewhere for 2-3 weeks. I also agree with Mesa Verde & Devils Tower, but I would add the Badlands as well.
