Chicago's Field Museum, The New York Metropolitan art museum, I walked the entire round trip around Central Park, Rockefeller Plaza, the top of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty,the Whitehouse, Arlington National cemetery, two days at the Smithsonian, DisneyWorld, Cape Canaveral, Daytona Beach.

The Saint Louis Arch, Savannah Georgia, New Orleans, Dallas Texas, Taos New Mexico, Disneyland, Six Flags, the Queen Mary, etc, etc.....

I've forgotten probably as much as above, 56 days on buses will do that to you.

My Father was on Alaskas North Slope working in the drilling camps, Mom did it all herself, the high point of my young life, and yes she's quite the Woman.

I got to see our Great Country at a time I could appreciate it and understand how big it really is.
