Been saving up to make a huge family flying trip from MN to TX to AZ later this month. Looking for some insight on the must see attractions for the family (Dad, Mom and 2 teens). Like to stop at some GA friendly airports. Courtesy cars and overnight stay options are a big help to keep the costs down.
Here are some highlights of potential interest:
So with some of the desires above I expect some "Are you nuts!!!!" type of input and would welcome many "Well you should....."
I sure welcome recommended airports & FBO's to overnight the plane and catch some sleep. One hangup at this point is NW Louisiana or NE Texas area within about a 2 hr flight north of Houston. Any recommendations there?
Thanks for your input.

PS: Probably shouldn't add but I will be making the trip in a Ce**na Cardinal. Little short of fabric
Here are some highlights of potential interest:
- Flyby the St. Louis Gateway Arch and stop at St. Louis downtown
- Houston, Tx - Visit the Houston Air and Space Museum and Johnson Space Center
- San Antonio / New Braunfels, Tx - Alamo and the River Walk
- Possibly Graham, Tx
- Tucson, Az - Pima Air Museum
- CHD, Az - Father's 85th surprise birthday party - Likely a few days in the Mesa / Gilbert Az area
