Top Ten Places to See on A Cross Country Trip from Lubbock to the East Coast

A coworker is planning a trip to the East Coast and wants to know about places to see as she and her husband travel back East...I have been preparing a list, which is very difficult, because there is so much to include...

I decided I needed to do a "Top Ten List" and am sharing it with you...

Gettysburg, Pa Civil War Memorial http://www.gettysburg.com/

Vicksburg, MS Civil War Memorial http://www.nps.gov/vick/

You will notice that I have avoided the highly populated centers, and the obvious, commonly thought of tourist attractions.  There is nothing wrong with visiting these areas.  I am just wanting to expand the traveler's horizons to consider some other sites...  And yet, these are not vistas that are so out of the way...
