If I come to see you, what do I not want to miss?
With gas prices being so high, we're not traveling far from home this year (except to take Justin to college in S. Ohio). But I love to learn about different areas of the country and what's there. If I came to see you, what would you take me to see? Tell me about the places.
I'll start.......
If you come to see me, we'll go to Sauder's Museum first of all. Check out their website http://www.saudervillage.org/home/default.asp
Sauder's is a historical village telling about life in the early 1800's in Northwest Ohio. This area used to be called The Great Black Swamp for good reason. You'll learn all about that at Sauder's. And if you are interested in Amish/Mennonite folks, this is really the place for you. This area of the country was settled by Amish/Mennonite people and also German Lutheran's. So the history is rich!
The other place I would take you to is the Toledo Zoo. One of the finest in the country. Seriously! Check this out..... http://www.toledozoo.org/
The Toledo Museum of Art is one of my personal favorites. But that is because I soooooo love art!! http://www.toledomuseum.org/
And, of course, you could not come here without taking in a Toledo Mudhens Baseball Game. We have tickets in the second row right behind the batter (3rd base side) http://www.mudhens.com/
ok, so where are you taking me? I'm looking forward to your expertise at tour guides

Re: If I come to see you, what do I not want to mi
Downtown Mineola is full of antique shops and cafes. And a park with an RV site. We also have a railroad depot and a memorial to our service men and women.
P.S. And ME most of all!!!!!!

Cindy, the antiques shops and cafes sound like fun. And Walt would love your railroad depot. But meeting you would definately be THE highlight of my trip to Mineola

Re: If I come to see you, what do I not want to mi
Well, if you come to the Cincinnati area, there are several things to see/do:
We have the Newport Aquarium, actually across the river from Cincinnati.
We have riverboat cruises on the Ohio River, also from the KY side.
We have Kings Island a few miles north of Cincinnati.
We have a museum dedicated to the Underground Railroad which was very active here.
I suggest you go to

or to

for more information.

Re: If I come to see you, what do I not want to mi
If you came to Baton Rouge:
You would have to eat the seafood at many of our wonderful restaurants.
Go to the top of our state capital- one of the tallest in the nation.
Go to visit Mike the Tiger on LSU campus and see Tiger stadium!
Visit the Rural Life museum- a great museum that commemorates life in rural Louisiana in the 1800's.
Visit Rosedown Plantation or the River Road Plantations- the antebellum plantations in the area.
Ride the Ferry across the Mississippi River.
Those are just some of the highlights that come to mind.

Re: If I come to see you, what do I not want to mi
It'll be 'tater diggin' time in a couple of weeks, we could go watch.
Could go to the 4-way stop downtown (we do not have a traffic light) and count the cars that run the 4-way stop. (We had a fender bender there once.)
We could go to the barber shop and watch the barber cut hair.
Or we could go and throw rocks in the creek if its not dried up.
And (I saved the best for last) we could sit on my front porch and watch the grass grow.
Sand Mountain, Alabama is not what I would call a tourist mecca. BUt...you and bro. Walt are as welcome as can be!

LOL OneAccord,
Sounds like Texas. I can't think of anything impressive about it but the fellowship is good. Everyone here eats Mexican food daily [I am so over it], and the only thing I have seen with any fascination is a donkey, and a cuyote. Other than that is is just a place of little to no consequence.
Blessings, Rhoni

Re: If I come to see you, what do I not want to mi
If you come to Omaha right now, you can see the Olympic swim trials.
If you were here last month, you could watch the College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium.
But, on a regular trip, you could see the zoo, which is one of the best I've ever seen. www.omahazoo.com
You could also visit the Qwest Center for one of many concerts, it's among the top 5 venues in the US for concerts.
Then you would have to spend some time downtown in the Old Market district, for some of the coolest galleries, shops and restaurants.
