As you have seen Away; as John has said; we each have a whole list of places we would like to suggest...I myself have moved more than 20 times in my life; *no my dad was not military; though I am a Navy vet*; but there are a few places even I can suggest depending on wherever you might be visiting and what your own tastes are...for example; if you love nature and will be visiting CA. then I would like to suggest Sequoia National Park...*HUMONGOUS; gorgeous trees there*...However if you are going to be visiting DC and like museums, plays and classical music then I can suggest good museums like The Smithsonian, and for classical music I would suggest The National Philharmonic...When it comes to plays by themselves...many of our bigger cities have their own theaters with various types of plays...also you might check out a few drama depts from various universities...in fact...UMass Dartmouth in North Dartmouth, MA. might still do a summer performance or two for free in their outdoor amphitheater...You just bring your own refreshments though they do NOT allow alcohol on campus so security will get you if you try and sneak it in...If you like sea life; some of the big cities like Boston have excellent aquariums and if you are going to either San Diego, CA. or Florida; then you could try one of our Sea Worlds...I know there is a third Sea World, but I don't remember where it is located...and of course if you like being a kid once in a while; try some of our Amusement Parks whether they be a Six Flags, a smaller locally known amusement park; Knotts Berry Farm; or even either Disneyland, Disney World, or Epcot Center...I hope that helps at least some...
