"These are my favorites:)" United States of America Tourist Trap Tip by PA2AKgirl

There is this book called "Roadside America" and it celebrates our tourist traps. I find myself looking them up whenever we are on our way somewhere. Earlier this year, we went to see "The Thing" in Arizona as we were making our way across the country. This summer, we stumbled upon "Foamhenge" in Virginia, saw the worlds largest fire hydrant which is in Columbia, SC. Up the road a bit is the Worlds Smallest Police Station. As I mentioned in a previous tip, I love when something can claim to be the best, largest, smallest, only whatever in the world--especially since there are quite a few of its kind that claim the same title. These things are laughable and picture worthy. Later, you can brag that you did indeed see the largest frying pan ever made. Who wouldn't be jealous? ;-)

Unique Suggestions: What? If you HAVE TO? Who has to? It's more "if you're fortunate enough to get this great opportunity...", isn't it? hehe:)

Fun Alternatives: Oh, there's no alternative. If there was, then how could these places claim to be the best of its kind? All are must sees. Well, with the exception of the worlds largest strawberry near Rockingham, NC. I've seen larger.
