Holland is a beautiful little town loaded with wooden shoes, statues, quaint shops, lots of Dutch heritage, and countless tulips and other spring flowers.

Chillicothe, Ohio. We drove slowly back until the dead end, and then up and up a sloping driveway to an old farmhouse and barns. My maiden name is Seymour; my grandmother Lucy Curtis married my grandfather Alonzo Harvey Seymour.

Zombies and the Zombie Walk, Columbus, Ohio
Zombies have a complex literary heritage of authors ranging from Richard Matheson and H.P. Lovecraft to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, all drawing on European folklore of the undead.
OKLAHOMA
The Mercantile Pawhuska, Oklahoma
The Pioneer Woman or Ree Drummond has numerous cookbooks, and a cooking show and also has her own blog where it all started. Recently she and her husband opened a shop called The Mercantile in her hometown of Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
SOUTH DAKOTA
What not to miss? The Badlands of course. There is an entrance fee. I recommend hiking one of the trails through the Badlands. Some trails are pretty level, short, and easy, but give you stunning views of the area. And take the Badlands Loop Road.
TENNESSEE
The Carnton Plantation and The Battle of Franklin
The floors of this restored Plantation in Tennessee are still stained with the blood of the men who were operated on during the battle. In one room where the operating tables were set up, you can see the heavy bloodstains in a semi-circle around a clear spot where the surgeon stood.

Lake Superior Circle TourWhat is the Lake Superior Circle Tour?
It is a 1,300-mile circle tour by highway around the world’s largest and most famous freshwater lake, with scenic shorelines, sandy beaches, and towering bluffs. We actually ended up driving around 2400 miles.
MEXICO
If you prefer not to swim in the ocean, all hotels have swimming pools, and most more than one. Group sightseeing tours, water sports, day trips and deep-sea fishing, etc., all can be booked right from your hotel. Or just relax, have an adult beverage and enjoy the white sandy beaches!

Tent Camping ListOne of the most important things I've learned is to keep it simple.
A phase our friend, Tom Thornton taught us is: K I S S, for keep it simple stupid.
You can make the camping experience as easy or as hard as you like, but camping should be fun and enjoyable.
The World's Longest Yard Sale is also known as The 127 Yard Sale or The 127 Corridor Sale and is a 4-day event every year. The dates are always the first Thursday of August, from Thursday to Sunday
