    Computer history museum. – the archive of our age and what shaped it thus far.

    I’d like to go to the La Brea tar pits because that holds massive meaning for Earth’s living history.

    I'd like to spend a full day at Barber Motorsports Park again if I was ever in Birmingham again.

    I love the age when people cast engines and machined parts in their middle class neighborhood back yards and alleys; when all motorcycles still had bicycle pedals and were just modified bicycle frames. The way the motorcycle started as nothing more than a velodrome pace bike to replace the 4+ man tandems for leading out certain track events is on clear display in their museum. I wish I lived in an age like that, where people could be far more creative without space and shitty people constraints. I have no place to do metal casting even if I could somehow handle the physical stress of it. I would love to do green sand casting.

      Took the answer right out of my mind. Get me a hoagie or some candy and gas. Hop right on the turnpike and get the fuck out of PA.

          So I did get one of the s’mores hot cocoas. It was nice! It gets sludgy at the end due to whatever is making it taste all graham crackery though, and I don’t always enjoy that sensation. But the flavor is very nice and until the sludge, also nice!

            Yum (minus the sludge)! I’m headed out later today, maybe I’ll stop by Wawa on my way home. It’s supposed to be a cold rainy day today so a smores hot cocoa would be perfect :)

      Wawa is pretty much always the real start of a trip for me. Top off the gas, check tires, grab something with caffeine and a Sizzli or soft pretzels, and then I know I’m as ready to roll as in going to be!

    No financial or resource limits? I want to go everywhere within driveability and see & do absolutely everything.

    Including Hiking all the waterfalls in Oregon.

    All the breathtaking lesser-known beach gems up & down the California coast line.

    Disneyland 😊 I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, but I want to go because I haven’t been since childhood/teenager and it would be cute nostalgia.

    I live in the northern suburbs of Stockholm Sweden, so a road trip will probably mean going south.

    So lets start going west!

    I would hit up Gripsholm castle to say hi to Leo the Lion: https://www.kungligaslotten.se/artiklar-film-360/gripsholms-slott/2018-07-22-legenden-leo.html

    Then I’d go down the E4, stopping at a moose park in Småland, stay overnight at my aunts place, keep going south to Blekinge, visit Marinemuseum (the National Maritime museum of Sweden) in Karlskrona, then continue on to Malmö, drive to Denmark, visit Legoland, continue to Germany, and Hamburg, for Miniature Wunderland, then find out where the closed steel works that you can explore are, go there, then find the park with old bucket wheel excavators, check those out, keep going south to Sinsheim and Speyer and checkout the cool technology museums, drive over to France and start heading back home.
