Man, I hope this is sarcasm cause I don't even know where to start.
I’m not OP but I get this — sometimes you want to do the vacation you want to do, and it’s okay to tell your teens to stretch their boundaries a bit and have fun with something that’s not their idea. Some kids are game for that (my son would be, but my daughter complains about everything that isn’t her first choice). Honestly it’s how most of us grew up — my family did a cross country trip when I was a kid and I guarantee they did not ask my opinion about the itinerary (except the San Diego zoo, which was my requested stop). Would I have picked the Henry Ford museum or Linton’s birthplace? Maybe not but they were both awesome.
She’s probably being about 50% tongue in cheek.

Please, oh please, give us day by day updates when you’re on the road.
This sounds like the kind of person who probably won't let their kids watch iPads on the long drives, too.
I'm curious if you think this is a bad or good thing.
FWIW I think long drives are basically what radio dramas were made for.

This was fascinating, as was the Old Slave Mart Museum.
