Saw this on Facebook and twitter so I thought it would be fun to post here. Just for fun, how many of these landmarks have you been to? Also out of these which was your favorite?

9 ... Disney World is my fav, but I love the beauty and peaceful atmosphere of Arlington Cemetery.
 
I've seen from a distance or been to 11 of them.

I would say that 2 really stood out to me. Arlington and the Wright Brothers Memorial. Arlington for the reason that the afternoon our tour (with my Dad and his Navy reunion group) visited it, was the day JFK Jr got married. That was interesting because my earliest memory of JFK Jr was his salute when his father's casket passed by. And, the Wright Brothers because I spent the day with my father. Just the 2 of us.

I also have 24! :clappy:clappy:clappy

Could've done the road to Hana, but we chose not to. I was visiting a friend who lived in Lahaina and we decided to do other things instead. And of all the places on that list I believe my fave is the Golden Gate Bridge. My mom grew up in Oakland so we'd go to the Bay Area a lot to visit family, and the bridge was such a presence. I have a model of one of the towers that I got at the gift shop and it always makes me smile when I see it.
 
When this appeared in my Facebook feed in June, I pulled it into Photoshop and made this, which I saved in my journal. Yay! Day One Journal search function! It only took a couple minutes to find it.

How can I pick a favorite? The Grand Canyon was the most jaw-dropping amazing, but I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time there. I could be happy for days hiking in Yosemite but eventually I'd want internet. The Golden Gate Bridge is kind of special because it was one of the sights I saw with my husband on our honeymoon. And our first trip was to Seattle, where we climbed the Space Needle, and I loved the city. The Hollywood sign also kind of makes me think of the early days with my husband because we lived right there in L.A. so we saw it all the time. I saw Niagara Falls for the first time in 2021 and it was the most surprising; it impressed me a lot more than I expected. During the same trip I saw Chicago for the first time ad that was pretty awesome too. Of the ones I have yet to see, I think the ones I'm most interested in are Zion National Park and Central Park. I hope to do lots more traveling and see most of these.
 
Look what appeared in my FB feed this morning! An international version. Now my score goes way down. But I thought our TLP international friends would appreciate this one; attaching a blank one if someone wants it.

17! My favorite is hard- there are a lot that are so different! But I LOVE yellowstone! SO much to do & see. All the WA DC monuments are super cool too!
 
I've only been to 12 of them! I'd say either Times Square or Niagara Falls were my favorites of the ones we've been to.
 
I have 12 on the USA one. Quite proud of that actually. Golden Gate
and 12 on the International one - not too shabby. Colosseum
