There is no better way to spend a day than visiting a museum. Any kind of museum! Large ones, small ones, ones inspired by the passion of one or two people, or a collaborative effort created by a city's population. Any kind. And the best thing to ever come out of the United States government is the National Park Service. Every park, monument, site and destination is an invaluable resource for learning and experiencing the country.
