14 days in Germany

I am planning a 2 week trip to Germany next summer with my 16 year old son.
We travel internationally once a year. I find that this gives us a chance to spend time together while learning about different cultures in other parts of the world.

I am trying to decide where to go and how to get there. We want to get as much out of it as possible, but we won't be driving. In the past we have joined escorted tours. However, I find we definitely don't get the freedom or flexibility that I would like so I decided to try to plan this trip myself (big mistake???)

We were in Munich several years ago and saw three of the main castles and visited the Glockenspiel.

We love architecture, history, culture and museums. That about sums it up. Oh I forgot that we love shopping. We also try to visit any Hard Rock Cafe we can (my son collects the pins).

We plan on spending about 4 days in Berlin, maybe a couple days in Munich (so we can visit the museums and walk around the city). Perhaps a couple of days in Frankfurt. Where else should we visit and for how long? What is the best route? should we travel by train or air? We plan on flying into Berlin and out of Frankfurt.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It is definitely different planning the entire trip myself. Hopefully it will be our best trip yet.
