Or is there somewhere not in the south that you can tell me has great barbecue?
St. Louis is known for it's bbq, and it's got the famous arch (highly claustrophobic, though!). Under the arch is the Museum of Westward Expansion with a fabulous exhibit on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, but the Museum of Natural History (again, part of the Smithsonian in D.C.) had a fabulous exhibit on the expedition which can now be found online. By the way, the Museum of American History is currently closed for renovations, but is scheduled to reopen in Summer 2008, hopefully in time for your trip.
