Not that there's anything wrong with that, but in order to get the full American experience, you should drive an SUV to the big box store lot, cook a massive size piece of awesome Costco beef on the gas grill, go see a game at the stadium, drink that night at the Dave and Buster's until you can't play the games any longer.

Then the next day, head out to Zippy's for a drift on the creek. Don't swim out to where they swing off the rope into the water. The little one hain't got enough sense yet to avoid jumping on top of you.
I have done this -sorta- with Britnetters. We load up the big red minivan and drive off somewhere new, taking detours to visit our online friends. We been all over New England, to Virginia, Florida, Ohio, we had a near miss in Nebraska, looking at Texas nest year for an anniversary party, and this year we've planning to visit anyone en route to the grand canyon. It's a good thing. We've camped in backyards, stayed in spare rooms and even in someone's old apartment in NYC as they were just in the process of moving house. People can be so friendly and show you things you might miss if you only passed through as a tourist.
