Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, left, recently gave U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson a tour of the newest section of the Cigar City's Riverwalk, which is funded partly by a federal government grant Nelson helped the city get.en. Bill Nelson shares a moment with Florida resident Annette Zeisler, a 91-year-old World War II Navy nurse who recently traveled back to Washington, D.C., where she had been stationed. She visited the memorial to all those who served, including her brother and the man she married after the war.
Budget a week or more for a driving trip around the Grand Canyon, though it can be done more quickly. Many visitors plan a week touring the canyon itself, but this route takes you through small towns, Native American lands and past Western scenery, so there are plenty of side trips along the way to add to your itinerary.
Very unique drive within Yellowstone. You are driving through a canyon so it has a unique feel to it with dense forest throughout. Best part was the stop about halfway through for a swim in the river. You can't miss it, there will be rooms for changing on the side of the road and lots of cars parked.
