History > Disney. >>>And there is more than America, with even more history. Try it.<<< As soon as I have the money.

Been all up and down the East Cost, actually, doing all of the Historical spots. Savannah, Charleston, Jamestown, Philly, DC, NYC....All awesome. Boston was just the last one we needed to see.
