Trivia
I love to drive so naturally I love to take road trips. My Husband & I like to take extended weekend road trips to surrounding states every couple of months. I research ahead of time for places to visit such as landmarks and museums. Here is a list of the oddest landmarks, monuments, headstones, statues, or attractions from Alabama to Wyoming (and including Washington D.C.).

New Mexico - The world's largest pistachio nut stands at 30 feet tall in Alamogordo, New Mexico. It sits outside PistachioLand, an 111-acre pistachio vineyard home to more than 12,000 pistachio trees. The sculpture was erected in 2008 to honor PistachioLand's founder, Thomas McGuinn. Have you ever visited PistachioLand?

New York - In 1987, the city of Penn Yan laid claim to cooking the largest pancake in the world, weighing in at more than 4,000 pounds. To create this 1.7-million-calorie pancake coated with 15 gallons of syrup required an equally large pancake griddle, which visitors can see today displayed on the side of the Birkett Mills building. Have you ever visited this griddle?

Built in 1926, it was intended to mark High Point as the furniture capital of the world, with two socks hanging out of the middle drawer to honor the town's hosiery industry. Have you seen this chest in person?
