I'm a road trip girlie. I have been road tripping my whole life, so even on short trips, I look into all the places I could stop along the way. Earlier this month, we were going to an engagment party for a cousin in Vegas, but decided to fly in and out of Burbank to visit my uncle. We were going to rent a car anyway, so this was the perfect blend of fly and drive trip to me.
Now, you already know that I am an expert at finding roadside stops, from using AAA guidebooks before the internet, to using Google Maps now, if there's a cool place to stop, I'll find it.
We've driven between Los Angeles and Vegas before, so we thought there probably weren't too many things we may have missed, but apparently that's not true. Knowing that, you can imagine how many cool things there are along any route wherever you're driving. One of my favorite things is an outdoor museum or sculpture park.
Sometimes you know a thing is there, because you've driven past it so many times. Sometimes you find out about it from Google or a blog post. Sometimes you just see it from the highway and figure out where to get off to look at it. Here are some cool places we've seen on road trips:
Liberty Sculpture Park - Yermo, CA
Mine Heritage Exhibition - Wallace, ID
