Honest count? I'll say 11 of the sites. Been to DC a couple of times and driven by many of the listed sites, but not actually been inside. I could only count the Lincoln Memorial, Air & Space Museum, and National Cathedral.
The Alamo - a bit disappointing. Thought it was out alone in the desert, like the John Wayne flick.
Mall Of America - not so great ten years ago, but it was the cat's meow in 1994. Back then they had two stores that sold really cool 3-D hologram photos, framed as art. Amazing for its time. Felt like you could walk into each one. There were two photos I remember to this day:
- a large photograph of a boy's bedroom with a telescope looking out the window where you could see the night sky and the moon. As you got real close, you could "look into" the telescope viewfinder, and see a 3-D closeup of the moon. Pricey at $300.
- photo that "moved" as you walked by it, like a gif - An attractive woman in her boudoir, wearing a corset with garters, stockings, and high heels. She was posing on her bed with one leg up in the air and her hands on that stocking, a la Bettie Page. As you walked by, she slowly rolled the stocking down her leg. All of us guys in the store kept running into each other trying to get the full effect. I wanted to buy that one. Mrs. Z said no.
