6. Thanks-Giving Square
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteThis began when four businessmen wanted the city of Dallas to be known not only for its economic accomplishments, but also for the enduring heart of its citizens. This meditative urban garden sits 15 feet below ground level and expressions of thanksgiving are found all around the square. The chapel of thanksgiving is the spiritual center of the square.The Glory Window contains one of the largest horizontally mounted stained glass windows in the world.
7. St. Louis Cathedral, Pere Antoine Alley, New Orleans, LA
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteThe major landmark of the French Quarter and the is the oldest continually active cathedral in the United States.
8. Mackinac Island
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteI first came here as a kid and LOVED IT! It's this beautiful spot in Lake Huron set back in time. Your only form of transportation is by horse and buggy, bicycle or on foot. Trails and woods cover most of the island, which makes it a great place for a hike.
It is also the location of Fort Mackinac, founded in 1780. It's a British-built on the island's bluffs high above the Straits of Mackinac.
You'll definitely need a full day to explore the island and feel satisfied if not more. If you want to bike the interior of the island, go kayaking, visit museums and the fort or anything else, you'll need three days!
