Interesting places

I've been to a few interesting places in my life:

Boston Common
Benjamin Franklin's Philadelphia home
Fort McHenry
Edgar Allen Poe's Baltimore home
Stonewall Jackson's tomb, well for everything but his arm.
Washington DC, all inclusive, substituting the dept. of health and human services for the Smithsonian (not really interesting story as to how)
Antietam
Fort Deaborn (I think that's the name of the fort near Detroit)
Henry Ford Museum, which included Abe Lincoln's Ford Theatre chair and Thomas Edison's last breath
Mackinac Island
Greenfield Village
Tiger Stadium - the best ballpark ever.
The Gateway Arch
The badlands
The Space Needle
Mt. Rainier
Pinnacles
Disneyland
Universal Studios
San Diego Zoo
Monterey Aquarium
National Aquarium
The Mayflower
Plymouth Rock
Manassas (Bull Run)
San Jacinto Battleground

Big Sur
Cannery Row
Salinas, CA
USS Constitution
The Alamo
Fort Concho
Namdaemun and Tongdaemun in Seoul
The DMZ
Both Continental Divides
Mason Dixon line

4 of the Great Lakes - Lakes Superior, Huron, Erie and St. Claire

I thought Lake St. Clair wasn't one of the Great Lakes... Just a really huge not great one.
