Probably going to Va. late summer to visit wife's best friend and family. Maybe hit a few NH sites. We did the Flume Gorge, Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway last year and Crawford Notch areas in NH. Maybe hit Plimoth Plantation and Old Sturbridge Village in Ma. at some point. Kids are getting away from kiddie ride places and are more into living history places.
Here are some pics of the Flume Gorge.
