Boston, Massachusetts-- This is one cool town. Boston has to be my favorite city in the US. Its got history, depth, sights, feeling and pride. Everything about that city spills out American pride, history, and love. I am now a Red Sox fan after visiting Beantown. This is the best place to spend the 4th of July. Boston=everything American (well, since 1776ish).

Portland, Oregon- Oregon may be one of the prettiest places on earth. We drove through a dark, dense forest in order to view 7 or 8 300 ft waterfalls in a few mile span. The Columbia River Gorge is as stunning as any place in America.
