I'd add Mt. Vernon, VA, Mt. Rushmore, SD and Constitution Hall in Philladelphia PA instead. -------------------- Living Well Is The Best Revenge Going Down South to North Carolina Book Reviews: http://www.ManOfLaBook.com

I'd say there are much better places to see than those. I'd even put Disney World on that list over Graceland. -------------------- Local Expert for Ohio, USA Next Countries: May 2010: Banff National Park - Canada Planning RTW in 2010-2011 for Asia and South America - coverage here
