Planning Field Trips...

For spring I thought I would try something different when planning out our family trips and field trips... I ordered a great book called "101 PLACES YOU GOTTA SEE BEFORE YOU'RE 12" ...

101 Places You Gotta See Before You're 12!

Let's face it, it's not realistic for everyone to see the Taj Mahal and Patagonia (and when you have children, travel is alot more expensive and diffiucult when they are younger)... this book brings adventure closer to home, and is wonderfully flexible and affordable...

It lists places not by name but by category ~ like forests, archaelogical sites, haunted houses, famous ball fields, light houses, even the landfill...

For each kind of place there could be 5, 10, or even 100 specific examples for you to see all over North America... the kids get to help plan what they would like to see and stickers are included so they can keep track of what they have seen and where you want to go next.  They even have a reference section with links included to alot of the sites so you can see about prices and hours if necessary...

This is a great book for families that like to travel and I can't wait to get started using it...
