America: Why I Love Her at DIA

Before you claim your bags at DIA, take in this colorful map of America's oddest roadside attractions.. Are We There Yet?
Besides being a baggage carrier for Continental Airlines at Denver International Airport, Gary Sweeney is also the creator of the patriotic map of America that greets travelers as they head to baggage claim. Back in the early '60s, the Sweeney family vacations included fewer trips to Disneyland and more car rides to unusual landmarks--such as the largest ball of twine, the Accountant's Hall of Fame, and the cheerleading capital of the nation. These jaunts inspired Gary Sweeney to erect an ode to the family vacation in the spot where many folks begin their holidays.
