Officially 18 months until we hit the road! NY > CA > NY in 23 days. Living my best #amysantiago life with our custom road-trip binder. Time to start planning! ⛰🚗⛰ #findMORweird #coasttocoast #roadtrip #roadtrippin #crosscountry #travel #bucketlist #usa https://www.instagram.com/p/BsNzDc_lgzV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u4o9ysg8p3ty

Told you there was more big furniture. We dubbed Thomasville, NC, Furnitureland, and the world’s largest (there’s some debate) Duncan Phyfe chair is right in the middle of it. Thomasville is “Chair City” and “Chair Capital of the South,” so there you have it. But! Controversy! There’s another huge Duncan Phyfe chair in DC. And since we’re heading to DC this summer, we’ll log both and call it a wash. . #findmorweird #giantchair #duncanphyfe #worldslargest #worldsbiggest #bigstuff #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #chair #furniture #weird #weirdstuff #ipulledoverforthis #roadtrip (at Thomasville, North Carolina)

The world’s largest chest of drawers! We made a detour to swing by when we were in NC and it did not disappoint. It also wasn’t alone - more giant High Point furniture coming soon. . #findmorweird #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #roadtrip #furniture #bigstuff #worldslargest #weird #ipulledoverforthis (at High Point, North Carolina)

Spring is officially here and that means we’re officially back on! Because we live in NY and it’s really hard to get to all the weird when it’s covered in snow or 200 icy miles away. Speaking of hundreds of miles away ... I’m just going to say it. Stonewall Jackson’s ARM is buried in Locust Grove, VA. Now you know. The rest of him is buried in Lexington, but his arm went first (by a few days). He was accidentally shot by how own troops and his arm had to be amputated. It was dug up at least once and moved, because whose arm isn’t? The day we visited was muggy and misty, and it’s a bit of a walk along a Civil War battleground to get to the stone. So, you know, amazing. . . #findmorweird #stonewalljackson #stonewalljacksonsarm #arm #amputation #grave #marker #civilwar #history #weird #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #roadside #roadtrip #weirdstuff (at Locust Grove, Virginia)

So there’s a giant Prozac capsule in Red Hook, NY. 🤷‍♀️ . . #findMORweird #roadsideattraction #roadsideamerica #iloveny #redhookny #dutchesscounty #hudsonvalley #worldslargest #prozac #bigpill #bigstuff #roadtrip #weird (at Red Hook, New York)

I grew up not far from Syracuse, so I’ve always known about its house on top of a factory. It’s just a shell, but there was a story a few years ago that you used to actually be able to get inside if you had the right escort. I don’t know if that’s still true, but it makes my weird little heart happy that it survives! (And PS, the house is - or at least was - really home to the motor for the factory’s original freight elevator.) . . #findMORweird #syracuse #syracuseny #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #roadtrip #weird #rooftop #house #onondaga #nys #northeast #weirdstuff #sightseeing #architecturaloddity #sightseeing #ipulledoverforthis #weirdroadtrip #iloveny (at Syracuse, New York)

#tbt to the stop that started it all: Foamhenge! Last year, we wanted to see some quirky stuff on a drive down to NC and this was first on our list. We had no idea what to expect or what to even do when we pulled into a random field on the side of a back road. Once we found it, I'm not sure we've ever had such random fun together. We had no idea these things existed! It was FUN! It was cool, we learned things. We were bitten. And, it turns out, we were lucky, because Foamhenge was about to be forcibly moved. (I've heard a lot of criticism by people who don't value this kind of randomness, and it makes me so sad. In this case, it was a large part of the site's literal downfall.) It's since been dismantled and is supposed to be relocated this year. But nothing will top this awesome first stop. There's other cool stuff near its former location in Natural Bridge.
