What a great list of cities. I have peeked at the Denver, CO links as well as NC. (visiting family cross country this year). I was bummed not to see my own city though, Albuquerque, NM. (sorry, I don’t have a blog. =0)
Here are a couple links with sites of what to do:

We have the world’s largest hot air balloon festival, with a museum on site.
We have the longest tram in the USA going up to visit Sandia Peak.
Carlsbad Caverns is only a few hours away to visit the underground caves.
White sands is also a huge white sand dune area to visit a couple of hours away.
Old historic route 66 (Cars the movie anyone?)
Old Town and Santa Fe with its native American history.
Our zoo is awesome. Just had the arrival of a baby rhino and giraffe.
Our kids also love the hands on science museum Explora.
One last bit, our natural science museum is hosting the Titanic Exhibit until the fall! You get to sign on as a passenger of the Titanic (one from of the documented list of passengers). At the end of the tour you get to see that passenger’s fate. It is a great way to really bring the Titanic voyage alive.
Lovelovelove your blog and planning to venture more into chalk pastels this summer with my kids. =0)
What an AWESOME list. I live in the Charlotte,NC area, but have been to Stone Mnt. My daughter is a competative Irish dancer and attends a Feis (fesh) that is hosted at the Stone Mnt resort every year. Unfortunately it is always in January, but it is definitely a place I’d love to visit in the Summer or early Fall. We also attend about 4-5 other Feis’s in the ATL area every year. We are really hoping to make it to the Aquarium and or the Coca Cola museum on our next trip. I’d especially love to visit the Aquarium as I have NEVER been to an Aquarium before.
I’d like to add a destination to your list. About 20-25 miles West of Syracuse,NY is Auburn. Auburn is famous for the William H. Seward house. He was on Abraham Lincoln’s cabinet and was responsible for the purchase of Alaska. His house is now a museum and is absolutely wonderful. Auburn is also where Harriet Tubman lived and died. Her house is a museum, and she is burried in the famous Fort Mill Cemetery. (I was born and raised in Auburn)
As always I enjoyed your post. Hoping this finds you well. Have a great summer.
