HOW EPIC WAS THE SPN FINALE?! I'll have to write about it later though because Jamie said she wanted this post on her desk by 8 a.m. or I'd be FIRED.
(Photoshop crashed 4 times while I was making this gay banner jsyk.) To kill time until season five and because I've had surgery every summer for three years, my sister Jamie (
asseenontv) and I are driving from Florida to Maine at the beginning of June to amateurly ghostbust ghostface and sightsee along the east coast for two weeks (read: drive around acting retarded). We've never been north of Tennessee on the east coast though, so we're asking for some general (and supernatural) sightseeing help!
I'm going to come back to this post DAILY to add to each state heading (I have many sites and guides yet to peruse), so feel free to COMMENT AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE (suggestions, philosophical musings, what you are eating, image or GIF spam, insults, etc BRING IT) and I will see to it you are DEALT WITH answered and thanked accordingly! THIS IS A FREE FOR ALL POST! LET'S PARTY!
Of particular interest:
- Hauntings! Derp! Anything you've heard, read or googled regarding supernatural events, critters or urban legends.
- National or state parks (especially with hiking or nature trails).
- Places to eat.
- Scenic routes and cool bridges.
- Tours of stuff (mines, factories, studios, etc.)
- Large churches and cemeteries.
- Museums, gardens, aquariums, planetariums, big ass libraries, etc.
Also:
- DRIVING MUSIC! ♥ ESPECIALLY ANYTHING THAT IS EASILY SUNG ALONG TO! ALL GENRES APPRECIATED!
