And Ursula if you ever do make it back to Warwick make sure you let us know!!!

My family went to the Arch and the Zoo on a vacation to St. Louis when I was in I think the 4th grade...I remember seein' the giraffes and just achin' that I couldn't touch 'em!
Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom This is a tough one. Fist of all it depends on what guests want to do. If they need some time to just rest relax and commune with nature then its off to the mountain house in North Carolina. There is so much to do up there. Its the town at the highest elevation west of the Rockies, smack dab in the heart of gem stone and minerals all over. Fun things to do up there are to take quests to nearby Franklin, NC with its streets literally paved in Rubys. There are antique shops to explore, panning for gold in nearby streams, hiking, canoeing, fishing, bird watching. I just like to sleep in late, grab a good book, stoke up a fire in the fireplace and sip a good drink. There is also Ashville which is nearby to explore too. OK, back to the city. There are some really good resturants to bring people to. Henry's Cajun Grill is always a top pick. Here in Kennesaw there is the General Museum, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, 6 Flags Over Georgia. In the springtime around Easter I like bringing people to Calloway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA its about 60 minutes away, just think Azeleas! Biking on the Silver Commet Trail in Rockmart, GA ( know for its slate quarrys ) is great in the fall. There is the Atlanta Aquirium. Lots of things to do.

I'm not sayin' the 2oons are a criminal bunch or that everyone they've taken them has met a watery grave, but...well...just please watch your back if they insist you walk in front of them.

Admission is free!< my daughter goes to college near St Louis, you would alsobe familiar with "the Hill" - some of the best Italian restaurants in one small area in St. Louis, who would have guessed ?

Bridal Veil Falls used to be awesome till the avalances... For Salt Lake- Temple Square and the Olympic (whatever the real name is) Stadium with the torch -em
