Like with most of the memoirs that are out now, This list is true to the best of my memory, which admittedly is not very good. When I was 6 my family took a cross country vacation in our Van and stopped and saw alot of cool stuff, only problem is I only have a vague memory of most of them. Feel free to do this list if you are feeling as inspired as me.
