there are so many wonderful things to see all over the country that i don't know how you'll ever squeeze it all into that time, so try hard. :lol:

you're very smart to plan ahead and make your choices now. if you google your route you can ask google for points of interest along the way.

My advise is to get a National Park passport and keep your eyes open. We took our children on a 3week tour around the country. We stopped at every Nation Park along the way. We started in SC and went to GA, AL, Miss, LA, TX, AZ, NM, Utah, Idaho, Montana, SD, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennesse, NC and Back home to SC. We stopped at many of the National parks along the way and whatever else we thought looked interesting along the way. We have a beautiful country. We did not get to Yosemite so we are going next year. I want to see the red wood trees.

Your trip sounds fabulous! You already heard about Sedona- oh I loved it there! And Columbus has been mentioned, Holmes County is wonderful, I'm thinking if you like art the Art Institute in Chicago is a must-see place. Hope you get to Paducah!
You are going to have so much fun, wherever you go!! :D

Hi from the other Rochester in MN, I was surprized to read your post, because My DH and I are going to do the same thing, but are heading south from MN and taking a month and going south and west and up the coast of CA. Hope you have a great trip

If you go to Estes Park, Co. there is a very neat quilt shop there called Maggie Mae's. The lady who owns it is in her eighties and she carries a lot of cool stuff. She also enjoys visiting and showing off her beautiful hand quilting.You will also see a lot of wild life-mountain goats, deer, and elk.They are protected in the park so you will see them everywhere.

We are on this trip right now, and I'm making notes of what's being recommended.

Left Maine earlier this week; spent yesterday in Niagara Falls-walked across Rainbow Bridge to see view of falls from Canada. Old Fort Niagara was also a highlight. On our way to Columbus, Ohio...I'm looking up info about the Amish there.

Then will head south to get warm before heading west.

If you travel down I-44 through Springfield MO make sure your husband gets a chance to stop at the Bass Pro shop. It's a huge store and people travel from all over to visit. We also have a couple of quilt shops :D
