Wanderlust Thursday

02 March 2012

It's all about the great U.S. of A. today because beginning next Saturday [drum roll please] husband, great friends, and I will be road tripping throughout this stud of a country for that sweet solace called spring break. Junk food and slushies are obviously mandatory. Along with cheesy tourist attractions. So, my friends, I present the crème de la crème of American cheesiness. May you find as much excitement in them as I do.

Tinkertown
Sandia Park, New Mexico

Because who wouldn't want to explore 22 rooms filled with miniature wood-carved figures?

Mitchell Corn Palace
Mitchell, South Dakota

Every year artists decorate this beauty with none other than bushels of corn and grain. The masterpiece is admired by tourists in the summer and devoured pigeons in the fall. What a phenomenon..

Petrified Wood Gas Station
Decatur, Texas

Texas would. And there's just nothing more to say about that.

My consensus? America knows awesome. Bliss, my friends. Pure bliss.
