Travel Advice

My cousin is driving cross-country next month. She's emailed me for some travel advice, but I thought I'd check with you guys to see if you had any thoughts

Yeah, Arch and Budweiser are good in STL. I would also recommend they get pretzels (or pretzel dogs?) at Gus's Pretzels, which is literally right across the street from the brewery: http://www.guspretzels.com/

Also, anything in Forest Park is grand and free, particularly the Zoo and the Art Museum, but it might be a bit cold for the Zoo. There are also some neat old houses near the brewery and gus's. And, if they like Native American stuff, Cahokia Mounds right across the river is a great stop.

Didn't Inbev end all brewery tours when they bought Anheuser-Busch out?

[tigg]

Nope, they're still going on. A friend of mine just took a tour within the last couple of months. I'm told they mention Inbev as little as possible.

We're still figuring out what's cool to do in Pittsburgh, but the Carnegie museums have all been good so far.

In Dayton, they could stop by SunWatch (reconstructed Indian village), although I don't know how exciting it will be in the winter.

There is also the incline thing in Pittsburgh, which is a old fashioned train thing to the top of Mt. Washington. Of the Carnegies, the Warhol might be the most distinctive since he's a native son and all that.

where are they starting and ending?

[rabswom]

Sacramento, CA to New York City. She has the first few days planned out already and asked for my advice on these particular stops.

[brittdreams]

If their route takes them through NM, they should totally check out either Albuquerque or Santa Fe.

I can't believe you didn't suggest any of the exotic animal parks near OKC. :)

Ha! I thought about it, but felt that Jen's cat would not do so well with those. :)
