Well, I've been to the mountains, beeches, plains, road trip etc etc. (actually i just got back from a 11 hour drive back home ).

But as far as 'vFIRST', i would recommend you to visit District of Columbia. I know it sounds kinda weird that how can you find science and technology in the district full of politics.
It took me almost 4 days to go around the whole National Mall area and visit all the great museums around it. Smithsonian Air and Space Museum is the most awesome museum though. I prefer you to visit both, downtown and Udvar Hazy Center, because its simply amazing. Also while you are in the district, don't forget to stop by Spy Museum (ever heard of James bond,Ethan, etc and all the cool stuff they use... well you can experience all that technology at the Spy Museum).
Other than that a bit south lies the NASA headquarters and jet propulsion lab. And if you are fond of nature, do visit the National Zoo and the Museum of Natural History.... believe me, it will simply amaze you!

theres a lot to do in the district and if you need any kind of help do let me know. I'm actually an educator with the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, and would love to give you a brief tour of the museum.
