see America first

     An old commercial asked us to "see America first" when on vacation. I would still like to do that. I'd like to drive from the Atlantic ( not far from where I live ) to the Pacific. I wouldn't travel in a hurry--as in On the Road. I'd just take my time and stop to look at anything interesting. I don't know if I'd take a detour to "important" spots, or just stop when I wanted to eat or rest, and ask about any local places of interest--best diner, giant shoe, whatever.
