Interesting Places to see and do

Charles Schulz Museum (Snoopy) in Santa Rosa, CA. It was absolutely amazing!

As far as Circus museums go, the Ringling Circus museum in Sarasota Fl is excellent. The Asolo Theater there is also somethng to see. It was taken apart in Italy and rebuilt stone by stone there in Sarasota. Catch a play there.

Has anyone else stopped at a carousel museum at some tiny town east of Denver. Oh yeah it's on the map exit 437 on I-70. It's worth a stop.

Really don't have any places that I would consider more interesting than others! So far this year have visited 2 capitols (Topeka/Lincoln), tractor museum and testing grounds (Lincoln), CW carousel museum(Leavenworth), Harley museum (Topeka), Great Overland Station (Topeka) many roses gardens (DW's thing). Went to 3 state fairs (MO, KS, OK). And that's just a little bit of the year. I guess I like museums and fairs. My friends always ask me how I find things... 1. Roadtrippers.com 2. google search 3. And I tend to get lost and find things!

Some of our favorite places are.
Gilmore Museum
Warthers Wood Carving Museum
RW Norton Art Gallery
Justice Bros private collection
Amerind Museum and Fulton-Hayden Memorial Art Gallery

Hocking hills Ohio in the fall

BTW, here's a good rainy day project at home.
I started by googling "South Dakota Tourism". Their site is one of the best. I eventually built a data set containing the URL for each of the states' tourism sites.
I review the states I'll be passing thru when I'm planning my next trip. I supplement this by stopping in each states' first rest area. A chance to stretch my legs and do a walk around on the RV and toad. Inside, I check out the brochures and ask the folks behind the counter if there's any construction ahead or anything that I shouldn't miss. BTW, you can skip the "Ripley's believe it or not" brochure. The answer is "not".

A couple of other interesting spots from recent travels...

Corning Glass Museum in Corning, NY. World class collection dating from ancient Egypt something like 3500 years ago to the most modern art glass. Technology, glass blowing, free hot glass show.

Carolinas Aviation Museum, Charlotte airport. Has the entire Airbus jet inside from the "Miracle on the Hudson" US Air landing. Lots of interesting displays like Captain Sully Sullenberger's uniform, passengers' suitcases, etc. The museum has a lot of other historic aircraft including a Phantom F-4 jet (my brother flew one in Viet Nam days.)
