If you're cruising the Midwestern states on a road trip, there's more than meets the eye when it comes to attractions. Sure, it's known for flatness. And agriculture. But there's so much more going on below the surface...literally.
In Illinois, Iowa and Ohio you can find your pick of caves to explore, if you've got a thing for stalactites (mnemonic: they're 'tied' to the ceiling) or stalagmites (you 'might' trip over them) or if you just want to explore a place that is a constant refreshing 54 degrees Fahrenheit. Find the cave closest to you at any tourist pamphlet stand.
We recommend
Seneca Caverns in Bellevue, Ohio because it has the best motto, ever: "The Caviest Cave in the USA."

It must be getting serious between Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo--as serious as it can get with two intellectuals of their caliber--as they flew back to Nick's hometown in Ohio last week so Vanessa could spend time with Nick's family and friends.
While hopping around Cincinnati with Nick's brothers, Vanessa gushed that she, "felt very much at home," there. Maybe she's always been a Bengals gan? She was also spotted guzzling a cold can of Miller Lite (tucked away in a can-cozy no less) aboard a baot with Nick and friends. Those Lachey's are a classy bunch.
Nick and his lady are now back in NYC camped out at Chez Minnillo for the time being...
