I may email you for more suggestions. The reservation process for the national parks was quite the ordeal but, we got into Waterton Lakes, Banff (Banff townsite and Lake Lousie) and Jasper. We will have to move a couple of times but, our set up and take down is pretty simple. Feel free to message. Or post questions on the board. There are quite a few Alberta peas. Happy to help |

In Victoria British Columbia we have Butchart Gardens. Wineries on Vancouver Island in various places; drawing a blank where. Vancouver is fantastic.
It all depends what you like to do.

Virginia, just off the top of my head and in no logical order: -- Monticello -- Williamsburg -- Yorktown and Jamestown -- Chincoteague (the pony swim) and Assateague (although part of it is in Maryland) -- Mt. Vernon -- Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive -- Arlington National Cemetery -- Luray Caverns -- Udvar-Hazy (part of the Smithsonian but located in Northern Virginia) -- Civil War battlefields (you could make your whole trip just this, lol) named everything I was also going to list, and I would add a couple more: * Virginia Beach, including the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center * Richmond, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts * Natural Bridge Also the Blue Ridge Parkway, beautiful scenery. |

Colorado checking in:
Colorado Springs has Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs, Cave of the Winds, Air Force Academy (all of this can be lumped in a weekend)
Mountains: Vail, Aspen, Breckenridge are popular.. Vail/Aspen is more expensive (celebrity areas) Breckenridge is more family friendly.
You can go over the Continental Divide during the summer.. You can go to Estes Park and stay there, then head up through Rocky Mtn. National Park, and drive over the Divide and end up on the other side in Grand Lake/Granby area.. which is also beautiful... Although you would have to watch the weather really closely as it can be snowing bad even in the summer.
Denver, eh.... like any other downtown.. I tend to avoid it these days.. so much homelessness and whatnot. What I thought before was worth the stop, I really don't think so anymore. IMO. But there are things just like any other big city.. Museums, Children Museum, Parks, 16th Street walking Mall/with busses.. but again.. I would go to the mountains first.

In Massachusets:
Museums I love: Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Museum of Science, DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Garden, Peabody Essex
National Parks: Cape Cod National Seashore, Salem National Heritage Site, Concord/Lexington, Freedom Trail in Boston
Trustees of the Reservation own a variety of properties all over the state for hiking, visiting farms, beaches.
Boston Public Library
Harvard and MIT campuses
So much to do in our state.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison. It isn't the most touristy place, but it is impressive and I didn't know it was there until I was an adult. (And I've lived in Colorado my entire life) The Gunnison is one of the most underrated National Park it’s just gorgeous |
