[QUOTE="TennokoEndellion, post: 2597264, member: 882725"] It all depends on where your interests lie. If you like exploring urban areas, looking at monuments, famous historical sites, etc., you might want to hit some of the major cities. Of course, you can see signs for historical markers driving along just about any highway (at least in the midwest--Missouri, Illinois, etc.). Some of them are more interesting that others. If you find yourself in Chicago, you can see the beginning of Route 66, even follow it if you want. Be warned, though: it ends up all the way on the west coast! Also, I'm not sure how easy it is to follow, seeing as how parts of it have been turned into major freeways and parts into regular city streets. If you like exploring the lesser-known places, there are tons of amazing little towns up and down the Mississippi River and in Indiana and Ohio. Check out Louisiana, Missouri - one of my personal favorites. Their cemetery has a beautiful view of the river, and there's a little restaurant called the Eagle's Nest that serves the most amazing sandwiches in the entire universe. Honestly, I think the US is big enough that wherever you go, you will have plenty to do. If it's really important to you to see as much of the country as possible, figure out what kinds of things you want to see. Places you liked last time and want to revisit, or didn't get a chance to go to last time? Monuments? Places you've seen on TV/in movies? Quirky, out-of-the-way places? Then, do some research and plan out where you want to go. That being said, if you find yourself in the city of St. Louis, you should check out the Arch, the City Museum (basically an awesome whole-building jungle gym for adults and kids alike), and our Art and History Museums and the zoo (all of which cost nothing to enter!). If you're hungry go to Uncle Bills (they're most famous for serving pancakes and waffles and such). Ted Drewe's is a frozen custard place and unique to St. Louis. I hope you have fun on your trip and enjoy your time in the United States. [/QUOTE]
