Ultimate Trip - The sky's the limit! - JUST FOR FUN - The DIS Discussion Forums

live4christp1 · 07-31-2009, 02:23 PM

This is just for fun to see what kind of ideas we can come up with and interesting things to stop and see/do.

The Ultimate Travel Trip
So let’s imagine that we have just come into a huge sum of money, such that we would never have to be concerned with cost again. We have our money; we also have plenty of free time, no set schedule and let’s set off on an adventure around the U.S. We have loaded up the RV, got our gps, everyone's good to go. We can stop anywhere we want to along the way from major attractions, to small trivial things we see along the interstate or roadside. Help me fill up each state with fun things to do/see.
I’ve started by adding some attractions that we’ve already been too or would like to go to.

As you post ideas I'll add them to the list. Let's see where our journey takes us.

Feel free to add places to eat, what about that place you pass every trip and see the sign, you think to yourself "that might be fun" but you never have time.......dream big!!!!!! Hey and if we need to park the RV and take a boat or a plane we can!!!!!

Under Texas you could put
Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington
and
Sea World in San Antiono
Also California has a Sea World in San Diego

Liberty Belle · 07-31-2009, 03:44 PM

My parents and son just took an rv trip out west. Apparently the Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho is not to be missed!

Oh, and we have to stop off at the Indiananoplis Children's Museum. Plus, I'd like to go to Bar Harbor, Maine, please.
