Best fun I ever had was taking my Granddaughter on what we still call "The Great Cheesy Tourist Attraction Tour"- Hwy 101 from Astoria, Oregon to Willits, California.
We made it a point to stop at EVERY "roadside attraction"- the cheesier, the better.
Aquariums! Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not! Myrtlewood! Plastic Dinosaurs! Chainsaw carvings of every description! Ginormous talking Paul Bunyan, complete with good old Babe! Hair raising tram ride through the top of the redwoods!
Went through the drive-through tree near Leggett twice- only the second time, Aliyah did it on her pogo stick!
We bought cheese (and ice cream)in Tillamook, pepperoni sticks by the yard in Netarts, salt water taffy by the bag in Seaside, and fudge by the pound every place we came across it. And I can see from where I'm sitting the really fine souvenir salt-and-pepper shaker set we plunked down a whole $3.95 for at the train station in Willits.
Yes, sir... that time, I lived up to my obligation as a Grandma to teach that little girl how to travel in style! :B
