What about Detroit? Or Gary, Indiana?

Both are beautiful cities from the perspective of anosmic blind people.

Charleston, SC is a great destination as well. Lots of history, plenty to do and beautiful beaches.

Oh I know. I've enjoyed the east coast all through out childhood. We'll probably hit up Myrtle Beach, go fishing, and then road trip north to Virginia Beach. Like I said, I can't wait.

My daughter absolutely adores horses and I would love to take her to see the wild horses of Assateague Island and Chincoteague.

In the past, we've had good times at Virginia Beach and Norfolk. There is a beautiful museum in Norfolk called the Nauticus which has a lot of hands-on exhibits. My 7 year old still remembers going through a shark's mouth when we went up the escalator. Nauticus I've also heard great reviews on the Virginia Aquarium. Official Virginia Aquarium Web Site

Last year, we did the Historic Triangle -- Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. The only downfall was that even though we went in early June, there was heatwave and the scorching heat limited our activities. We will go back to Colonial Williamsburg in a few more years because at the time the kids were 9 and 6 and they were a bit too young for the activities offered there IMO. But Jamestown Settlement and Yorktown Victory Center held my kids interest. They particularly liked exploring the ships that were at the Settlement museum and the demonstrations that were offered by workers in period costumes. http://www.historictriangle.com/

With kids that age, Disney World is a wonderful place to go. There is a heck of a lot for both kids and adults too.

I've heard Oakland is nice.

You've heard wrong.
