Well if you mean “coolest” place opposed to “Coolest” then I guess this takes in both meanings..The coolest place I’ve been was Seneca Caverns in Ohio, and it was so cool in there that I about froze..but it really was cool too except for the bats.. that I just knew were ready to pounce on me and nest in my hair. All the time I was in there I covered my head with the sweater I originally brought to wear..Anyway it was pretty cool, but I’m not too eager to go again for awhile

Bev Banta says
we did a family trip to Indiana to see the great grandparents but the cool part was the whole way up and back with little side stops. We stopped at a McD in Dalton Georgia and my then 2 yr old puked his way through the tubes so it got shut down and he was handed back to me by the Mcd’s girl wearing gloves to underarms. we also did a snow slide up there(this place made their own snow) not too far from Great grammas, very cool since being Floridians my boys had never seen snow and now they were shooting down a slide on a tobaggon. Then on the way home we did a Mayfield factory tour and had our pictures taken with our hairnets on. Its the small and silly things that made our trip cool. those are the things we will never forget.

I’m not sure most people would classify it as cool, but I like to go to Piedmont, MO. It is a very small town with a small lake. We camp there as many times a year as we can work in.

It is just really neat & a quiet place to go.
