Hershey, PA visit the plant, Oklahoma City visit the site of the bombing, very humbling. Corpus Christi go over the huge bridge down by the water. Austin, TX has a huge lake and there is a restaurant that is in tiers right on the edge that over looks the lake. Don't know the name of the lake as my daughter in law and granddaughter took us there. There are so many neat places to go to in every state. Just pick up books in the welcome centers in each state they have things you can go to. Also pick up the books in the centers for hotels/motels that you can stay at for a reduced price. In one state we stayed at a Comfort Inn for $30, but that was a couple of years ago.

And El Morro and the Ice Cave in New Mexico, just south of Grants off of I40. There are some really nice quilt shops in and around Albuquerque: The Quilt Works, Southwest Decoratives, and Quilts Ole.
Santa Fe and Taos are north of Albuquerque and Carlsbad Caverns are in the south of the state.
Have a wonderful trip.

Don't forget the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Gateway to the west. Losts of adventure here on the Mississippi River.
When you leave let us know. You will drive within 5miles from me. You could plan a pitstop here. I live on the Illinois side of St. Louis about 10 miles from the city.

Thanks so much for all of the input will write all of the places down and as we are going to get a laptop will keep everyone updated.Just a little history on this trip have planned this trip for this will be the third time and due to family illness and both of my husbands parents passing three years apart we were unable to take this trip.But as of yesterday we now are the new owners of a 95 Mini Winnebago and that was a big step that was holding us back.
We lived in Lawton Ok for 3yrs whilr hubby was in the army so we will spending time in Ok.and Mem is a definent stop.
This will be our 34th anniversary gift to each other,once again thanks Retta

If you can get to the Amish country in Lancaster, PA, there are fabric shops and quilt shops where the Amish sell their quilts. I have only been once, and at the time I was not interested in quilting. Now I want to go back!
