Mountain Grove, Missouri - World's Largest U.S. Constitution
Very cool celebration of our Constitution. Erected in front of a firearms store. The gentleman working the counter was very nice. If traveling in a large RV, stop at somewhere to turn around to park, as there is nowhere at the site to turn an RV around.

Madeira Beach, Florida - Largest Indoor Alligator Attraction
This place is great! Most of the animals are rescues, and everyone who works there is knowledgeable about the animal's back story. I did the extra Sloth Encounter and it was so worth it!
