Many of our travels have been to major cities within our own country of the USA, but often it’s the lesser known places that have a different impact on you when you travel.  Many times, it’s the smaller, less known locations that truly show off the best qualities of my country.  It’s something I’d like to do more of this in the future as well, to trek outside of the major cities and see more of the rest of the country.  But so far, here are some of my favorite places we’ve visited in America, places that are a bit off the beaten path and might not be as well known.  They are places that I think are totally worth a visit, even if you might have to drive out of the cities to find them.  So here in no particular order are some of my favorite off the beaten path locations in the USA.
