The home of Martin Van Buren 25 miles from Albany.
Rock and Roll Hall of fame
The Mall of America has a popular aquarium called Sea Life that – despite my love of all things oceanic – I've never been to.
MoA is a remarkable place, but when Sea Life opened I couldn't shake the knowledge that it was an aquarium in a mall. Having grown up going to Sea World in Orlando, the mall version just wasn't something I was drawn to see for myself, though by all reports it's pretty good.
This may sound unbelievable, but any of the local wineries! But more important is the annual Woody Guthrie Festival.
