- Get a taste of Illinois-made whiskey.
- Go strawberry picking on a pumpkin farm.
- Take a picture in front of this Denmark staple.
Nebraska is a midwestern state that is often regarded for one of its most notable crops: corn. But on this one-way route, you'll get a more laid back, scenic view traveling into the Cornhusker state. The day will start in Illinois, visiting the Railway and Iowa Trucking museums. You'll spend one night in Des Moines, but an early morning awaits as you make a few novelty stops before reaching Omaha for another overnight stay. This route is complete with delicious food, wondrous attractions and history on a few modes of transportation — a great option for the entire family!
