If someone were to visit your State (whichever one you choose that to be), what would be the "Seven Wonders" that one should see?
This is different than the Head of Tourism trying to promote vacationers to come visit, like a Festival or something like that. A Festival is not a "Wonder". A "Wonder" is a natural or man-made vision that one needs to see to believe.

Hey man I love Ohio, but its natural beauty ain't its selling point...How high up will fudge making in Mackinac rate in MI? Hmmmm???

I cant sit here and name you the "natural wonders" of Ohio, though there are certainly some interesting hiking spots, though I'd imagine its pretty similar to most every other state.
As far as man made structures, the only one that comes to mind is the Lonenbergger building (I'm sure I messed up the spelling) but was pretty cool to drive by, even having seen pictures of it before. I guess I could throw Ohio Stadium in there, big college stadiums are fairly common in each state, but until you've been inside of one, its hard to get a feel for just how big those places are.
As far as an itinerary for someone visiting that you can't find as easy or to the same scale in other states (or countries):
Entertrainment Junction (West Chester)
Kings Island (Mason)
Wright-Patt Air Force Museum (Dayton/Fairborn)
Columbus Zoo (I've seen it ranked as a top 3 zoo, I've never been)
Cedar Pointe (Sandusky)
Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland)
Blue Ridge Parkway
Natural Bridge
Luray Caverns
Busch Gardens
Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Shenandoah Valley
Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's home)
honorable mention: Mt. Vernon (George Washington's home)

Good list. I'm an hour drive away from #4, a 5-minute walk down the beach from #5, and I went to college in #6.

Someday (bucket list), I would love to spend two years covering Virginia and the Carolina's.

I feel the same about the Pacific NW.

Easy to spend too much time at the micro-breweries.
