8/25: That is just pitiful! Pitiful!! I guess all of the things I have done other than Disney World (which was a really big deal when we were kids) and the fee to get into Grand Canyon have been free. And to many of those attractions are on the east coast (or at least east of the Mississippi), which, as I pointed out before, I have not visited as much. I have driven by several of these places (23, 15, 13, 12, 6), just did not have the time or money to stop usually.

I vow to take our kids to several of these places so they will not have to suffer as I have ;)

I tag Sarah and Silver Fox.
