Budget Travel's 16 Awe-Inspiring American Monuments
I was browsing through the list of monuments that Budget Travel deems to be the best in the country. After reviewing the article I realized I have been to many of those places! Check out my Awe-Inspiring Travels :)

Golden Gate Bridge- 1992 & 2009
Went with my parents when I was 9, then again for a conference in 2009 with a girlfriend of mine. I love San Fran!

Highway 1 - 1992
Don't have the pictures, but I certainly remember riding in the backseat of the car at 10 years old getting car sick along the way :(
Hollywood Walk of Fame- 1992
Have them but buried somewhere in my mom's guest room closet...
Las Vegas Strip- 2011
My first and I guarantee it won't be my last. :)
Hoover Dam- 2011
A great stop on the way from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon!
Mount Rushmore- TBA
So this is one of the ones I have not yet been to. My mom has always wanted to go, but there doesn't seem to be much else out there... One day we'll make it!
French Quarter, New Orleans- TBA
Would love to do a road trip out to Texas and stop here along the way ;)
Gateway Arch, Saint Louis- TBA
Haven't had the burning desire to go there, but I'm sure I'd have a great time tasting the amazing ribs and sampling the local music scene!
National Mall, D.C.- 1994, 1997, 2009, 2010, 2011
Do you think I like the place??? I see something new every time I go. Our country has a fabulous "downtown."
Independence National Historical Park- 2008
Silly me didn't get a picture in front of Independence Hall- but I have a picture of me inside it with a teacher tour group. The following picture is at the National Park as well- Liberty Bell!
Statue of Liberty- TBA
I'm hoping to get there in the summer of 2012 or 2013.
Times Square- TBA

Grand Canyon Skywalk- 2011-not really but...
Okay I have a rant. It's a small one. While it is an awesome concept, the Skywalk is located in the Western Rim (not the best view). There is a laundry list of things you can and cannot do (including bring your own camera...) The South Rim is by far a better view and there is lodging, so you can make it an extended stay. The South Rim is also where you can hike down and camp, raft, etc. I did extensive research this summer when heading out there. I chose South Rim- when talking to locals they all said that the West Rim is somewhat of a "trap". So here are my pictures from the amazing South Rim from 4 different locations within the National Park ;)
