Lady Liberty, New York, New York

Wausau, Wisconsin

Not bad scenery for the end of the road on I-39.

Site of the 1981 Assassination Attempt on President Ronald Reagan

Amway Grand, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Quite the hotel for the West Coast (of Michigan)

Gerald Ford Library, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Not the most exciting president, but still managed to make it to being Commander-in-Chief, and a nice spot on the river in Grand Rapids

Supreme Court of the United States, Washington, DC

The final stop on the road to justice.

CN Tower, Toronto, Ontario

Yes towers with observation decks tend to attract tourists, even people who make a wrong turn. But how can you go thru Toronto without going up the CN Tower. And looking thru / standing on the glass floor!

Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls, Ontario

Where to begin? The legends, the tightropes, the barrels, the tourist traps that have sprung up around this amazing fall of water. And yes the mega hotels that give you views of it (assuming you're on a high enough floor).

Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Michigan

The Henry Ford Museum. Greatest collection of everything in America. Famous trains, Cars that have driven from the tip of South America to Canada (something I always thought about doing), and even old Presidential motorcades.

United States Capitol, Washington, DC.

Ah - what to say about this structure than maybe highlight some of the features. The rotunda, the crowds, the painting of the embarkation of the pilgrims in the Rotunda with William Brewster, and maybe a statue of William Jennings Bryan. And let's throw in the honorary American citizen and true hero of World War II, Raoul Wallenberg (who survived the Nazis only to die by the Soviets).

Union Station, Washington, DC

A busy hub of activity on the Northeast Corridor, as opposed to the rest of the Amtrak grid....

Promontory Summit, Promontory, Utah

The Golden Spike Site, the Central Pacific Jupiter, and the nearby Rocket Museum. Quite the collection.
