You should do a detour to the Grand Canyon. Not that far from Flagstaff.

If you go through Santa Fe, you should eat at Tomasita’s cafe.

In Albuquerque you could eat at El Pinto Restaurant.
That was where “W” declared he was running for president.

Garden of the God's (Colorado Springs) if you are going that way.

The giant meteor crater is sooth of I40 between Flagstaff and Winslow. Just off I40 in as you enter Arkansas is Fort Smith home of the hanging judge and U.S. Marshall's museum. In Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley are numerous Civil War sites And the spectacular Luray caverns.

I was born in Arlington and raised in Falls Church back when it was still mostly country, my wife is from San Bernadino and we live in Texas and Arkansas so I know I40 and I81 real well. You've the Chesapeake close to hand with shrimp and crabs and the Blue Ridge with hiking and camping plus the C&O canal. Plus all sorts of history. Enjoy it with the kids.
