The thing that amazes me about Niagara Falls is hearing it way before you see it. Lovely area with gorgeous B&B's and wineries. You'd love Niagara-On-The_lake Angela. Quite romantic.

I will get there one day. It's now on my short list.

I just find it humorous that a site called "BudgetTravel" lists Pearl Harbor and WDW as places for kids to see. Apparently, they budget for travel a little differently than me.

P.S. Also nice to note that 2 places west of the Rockies are deemed worthwhile. No Yellowstone NP? No Yosemite? No GNP?

Budget Travel is a really good magazine! You should check it out. Every month, they have a great section where people tell their funny travel stories. I love that.

I thought that the list was good, though I have to agree with Wacky Mother that it leaves out the middle part of the country. I guess we could substitute Wilson's Creek National Battlefield near Branson, Missouri for those of us from Missouri and surrounding states. Also there is no mention of anything related to American Indians such as Mesa Verde (4 Corners area) or Cahokia Mounds (St. Louis area). Did you know that Cahokia was a larger city than London 1,000 years ago? Just a thought...

You know what's incredible, my kids have never seen the Mississippi River!!!!
