Okay Ideas people. Ideas of places to eat, visit, or stay, or anything I can't miss. Here's a list of cities I've ironed out we're doing. AAA is driving me nuts trying to get me to iron out my itinerary. I'm not that sort of person honestly. I am more a "well see when we get there kind of person." And a book a hotel couple of hours before we need it depending on when we make it.
Syracuse
Niagara OT
Saginaw, MI
St Ignace
Picture Rock National Lakefront
Green Bay WI
Minneapolis
Sioux Falls
Wall SD
MT Rushmore
Sheridan
Yellowstone
Missoula
Glacier National Park
Spokane
Yakima
This trip is planned on us being on the road for 3 weeks. OMG in way it's insane. And at the same time I am so psyched. I love hearing people's places to eat and see. PLEASE chime in anything. I'm debating going back to blogspot to make it easier for me to post pictures of stuff.
Be ready for a cool photo montage if you help me plan awesome stuff to see or do.

The Basilica
The Walker Art Center sculpture garden (Spoon Bridge & Cherry sculpture)
Summit Avenue in St. Paul (lots of gigantic mansions)
The Mill City Museum
Mall of America (kind of meh, but world famous)
The skyway system in downtown
The Foshay Tower
MIA (Minneapolis Institute of Arts) museum
Guthrie Theater
The Mary Tyler Moore statue (and/or Basil's; if you're a fan of the show it was featured in the opening credits)
The new Twins stadium
First Avenue (the club featured in Purple Rain, kind of grungy and you've got kids with you so probably not an option)
My favorite restaurants:
Trieste Cafe (open for lunch on weekdays) Greek/Middle Eastern
Emily's Lebanese Deli
Kinh Do or Vo's (both Vietnamese)
Uptown Diner
Bryant Lake Bowl
Sen Yai Sen Lek (Thai)
Ghandi Mahal (Indian)
Harry Singh's (Caribbean)
Black Forest Inn (German)
It's Greek to Me (Greek, of course)
Masu Sushi Robata
Pizza Luce
Punch Pizza
Evergreen (Chinese)
Szechuan Spice
Broder's Pasta Bar
Bar La Grassa
One iconic thing (I haven't tried because I'm vegan) is the Juicy Lucy, a hamburger stuffed with cheese. 2 places claim to have the best, Matt's and the 5-8 Club.
Have heard good things about Revival (chicken/Southern) and Anchor Fish & Chips
Nicollet Mall is known as "Eat Street" and especially famous for pho (Vietnamese noodle soup). I believe Quang's, Pho Tau Bay, Jasmine 26, Pho 79 are all considered good.

Oh, we are the same way with our road trip planning, or any kind of planning. We are flexible planners (because you know crap is always going to happen and plans are always going to change). On a BIG trip like this I would think it would be even more important to keep it flexible.
