I would reschedule the summer 2020 trip I had planned to South Dakota - Badlands, Custer, etc.

- spring/summer travel (at this point late August being the most likely time).

No international or cruises. No beaches. No big cities as already been (NYC, Philly, San Fran, LA, Chicago, Boston, San Diego).
Been to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City.
Alaska seems enticing but would need more planning.
I do want to stay put for a week. We changed accommodations 3 times in 7 days on our spring break trip which was fun and needed but exhausting.

I think my shortlist is South Dakota, Montana and Wisconsin. Just need to figure out appropriate base city. This was a great thread (everyone was kind ).

We stayed a couple of nights in the Badlands area then a few more nights in a cabin near Hot Springs. That might be easier than finding one city to cover both areas.

I agree with this- things are spread out enough that you’re spending a lot of time in the car if you stay in one place. I’d recommend staying near Custer and then maybe near the badlands.

Yellowstone. Wish we scheduled more time there when we toured some of the national parks. Now that we've been to with natural wonders such as Hawaii and Iceland, we really appreciate more the diversity of Yellowstone.

Alaska.

CO would be second on my list.

I guess your kids will be on the computer all day then

This is nearly $1k a night with 3 night minimum. Looks like OP may be able to afford it but wow typical DCUM.

On the beach around Melbourne, Florida

Swim on the beach.

See Cape Kennedy there.

Drive up north about two hours (maybe three) to see St. Augustine.

Drive west to Orlando, to see everything but Disney.

Drive south to see the Breakers, etc. in Palm Beach.

If you hate Florida too much, stay in an inn or AirBnB around Beacon, New York.

Swim and kayak on the Hudson River beach there.

Use the commuter rail and Ubers or cabs to see West Point and other historic sites.

Go glamping.

Take the train south to around Columbia and hang out there.

Go to the museums between there and Midtown.

Jackson Hole? It’s expensive but lots to do, hiking, biking, Yellowstone, rafting, paddling.

Lake Tahoe
