    I suppose it's morbid, but you could see where JFK was shot. I've seen it and don't get the fascination but it gets tons of visitors!

    was gonna recommend the okc bombing memorial, but you're not going that far north, would be way out of the way, lol

    They can start at Honeymoon Island State Park which is just north of Tampa in Dunedin .. I love it there .. that is how I'd start my journey .. lol.
    They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.

    I think I've been there.. I don't remember since it was 5 years ago when me and dh went (we had a wedding and 3 other places to hit before I had to come home).. If it is where we went it was gorgeous!!!

    Has she sent for all those states vacation planners? She can go to the state sites and have them send her info and the planners.

    Go to state festivals to see if any cities are having them at the time they are going through. They are usually fun. If they can take their time they can see lots of off the main road fun places.

    Arizona has the coolest off-beat tourist attractions ever. That's where we're going on vacation next year. Kids love stuff like Meteor Crater and Wigwam Village and London Bridge is fun to see too. Google brings up a bunch of stuff.

    If you belong to AAA you can also do a trip ticket and plan your itinerary and they should pull up neat places to see.
