The vacation you thought you were going to take this summer did not quite pan out. There is this thing called the economy that keeps getting in the way and always ruining your plans! Boo, economy. Okay okay, there is no need to fret, so maybe your dreams of an exotic locale on the world map are out of the question, but the good old United States of America has many interesting places that are reachable, gasp, by automobile. So gas up your car and get going, it’s time to take a weird vacation!

Check a road map to find out where there are some interesting landmarks are not far from your hometown. There are bound to be some. Heck, there are entire blogs dedicated to weird American landmarks. They are quirky and fun and man they are sure conversation starters.

A good place to check for some near you in online, just type in your state plus weird landmarks. The results will probably surprise you. For example, I typed in weird landmarks plus Arizona and came up with some results that would interest any road traveler. There are lots of haunted places in Arizona, including one in Jerome that is a short drive from Phoenix. And there is always a trip to famous and classic Tombstone, an Arizona icon, near Tucson.

Road trips are a great way to explore the unique American landscape and meet some cool people on the way. The travel time is a lot better because you aren’t stuck in layovers in the airport while you are making your way across the world globe for that expensive vacation.

Road trips are great; you can do them on a whim and visit some weird landmarks. So gather some friends together and go have yourself a little adventure.
