So the great American road trip has a rich and fickle history; I suppose what once was commonplace is now unusual because we want everything to happen quickly. We fly instead of drive. We add mini TVs with DVDs to our vehicles so we don't get bored with scenery.
If you long for the simpler days of leisurely Sunday drives and days-long vacations by car, or wonder how we got to where we are today, check out "The American Road," a new exhibit at the Harley-Davidson Museum, Milwaukee.
"We look at the road trip as a ritual and how that came to be," explains Kristen Jones, senior curator ....
The American Road" stays in place until Sept. 1, and entry is included with admission to the Harley-Davidson Museum, 400 W. Canal St., Milwaukee. It's $18 for adults, $12 for senior citizens and students with school identification, $10 for ages 5-17 and free for ages under 5. www.h-dmuseum.com, 414-287-2789

This looks really cool! I would suggest doing it as part of my roadtrip next month but those prices... :(
