yeah, i travel a lot and have seen both plates, i think its hilarious. i say north carolina should change their to 'birthplace of nascar'. nobody could argue with them or try to copy it, right?

except florida
theres an interesting book called daytona or something like that that goes all the way back to nascars beginnings. pretty damn good
i think its pretty safe to say ohio is the birthplace of aviation bc thats wehre the wright bros were born and nc is the first in flight bc thats where the first flight was. i flew up to kill devil hillls and spent the majority of a day there. pretty damn cool. im sure i could easily spend 3 days in the aviatoin museums of the smithsonian.
and personally i dont htink the nc beahces ive been to are all that great.
i say texas beaches or florida beaches> all

also the holocaust museaum, which is in so much demand you either weight in line at the butt crack of dawn & jope to get in or you go with a group & make an appointment.

I love Washington, D.C. I've only been there two times, but I've had a chance to see a lot of the city - from taking in a play at the Kennedy Center to seeing the Rotunda of the Capitol Building, I got to see the city the way I never thought I would be able to.

The second time I went was as a tradition that seems to be forming - no matter who is sworn in as President of the United States, my brother and a couple of friends drive from Michigan to D.C. to see the Inaguration. It was tough this past time because both of us worked on the Kerry campaign (he much more than I) and he had just buried his best friend who had died in Iraq (Two days before Thanksgiving, 2003). But we still went.
Both times I have been in the city, the Washington Monument has been closed (May, 1998 and January 2005). They were also doing a lot of work on the Lincoln Memorial the last time.
