UK: York, London (obviously), Scotland, Wales and Ireland have nice places, far too many to mention.
France: Paris (obviously), Rouen, Xambres, any Wine Centre (beautiful and tasty)
Germany: Bavaria is beautiful, lots of fairytale style castles etc. The cities tend to be historical in nature.
Italy: Avoid dumps like Milan (pollution is a killer) but Rome is worth the air pollution coughs. Florence is a 'must'.
Spain @ Portugal: Most areas of these 2 countries are great to visit. Historical castles, towns, markets etc. The beaches aint bad either 
Greece & Cyprus & Malta: Fantastically 'olde worlde' feeling about them, with that new 'modern style' thrown in for good measure. Athens and the Acropolis is a never to be forgotten experience. The birthland of democracy, science and medicine. Malta is wonderful and the people (mostly) are kind, warm and very welcoming. Cyprus is so nice I even bought a house there (regretfully sold 3 yrs ago). The locals arent 'Brit' fans but the yanks have favoured status.
Hungary is great, the people nice, the girls gorgeous and the cities wonderful.
Poland I like, its maybe a bit dirty but the people are great.
I havent visited any of the other 'new' European states so I cant say anything about them.
Avoid Turkey like the plague. Everything about it is bad, the people, the food, the culture, the government, the tourists spots etc. As an American I can guarentee that you and your family will get a hard time and some intimidation at the very least.
I wont recommend any foods or drinks. Each region/country/populus has its own style and tastes. Try to try them all and your tastebuds will be your friend forever.
I would however, recommend that you decide to visit just the one country and to base yourself there. If you try to see everything available you simply wont have time to actually stop and enjoy the experience. If you have the time and the money, catch a plane to somewhere else, its only a short trip anywhere around Europe.
Have fun and welcome to our land
