This information is from Budget Travel. They came up with 15 places every kid should see by age 15.
I saw this link on CNN this morning before I went to work. I debated showing it to my students, but the truth is, with budget cuts, the recession, job cuts, etc.--these travel ideas are great in theory, but they are probably not very feasible for many families. Sadly, that’s not news.
I have been to seven places on the list, and my parents really tried to take my sister and I on various trips around the country.
I compiled a list of the places I have been:
1. The Grand Canyon
2. Monticello, VA
3. Niagra Falls
4. The National Mall
5. Williamsburg, VA
6. Walt Disney World, FL
7. San Diego Zoo
You will have to check out the link if you want to see what else is on the list. :)
*My parents took my sister and I to Washington D.C, Monticello, and Williamsburg., when I was 13. We went during the fourth of July, and it was truly awesome to see fireworks while we sat on the lawn of the National Mall. I remember it was about a two week trip and looking back on it, it must have cost a fortune to stay in hotels for that long. Of course, being a punk teenager, I didn’t fully appreciate the opportunity my parents were presenting me with.
On the other hand, it just makes me realize I need to call my mom and dad to thank them for allowing my sister and me to be able to go to so many cool places!
Recently single mom looking to get back into the groove. Not, like Stella--but, like a normal mom (to a one year old and an almost five year old). I make jokes when I get uncomfortable and I hate having crucial conversations. I am an educator and I live with my parents.
