Okay, every winter you take off to the beach, with honey and kids, visit theme parks round the year or go skiing and snowshoeing in spring. Has anyone tried an off-the-beaten-path vacation with the children??
Very hew heads up, I guess. But I have some great ideas to do it off-beat with the kids. I want to share these with you all.
A Road Trip Instead: Yes, instead of hopping into the plane, we can drive to a fairly distant place and have fun all the way. We have such good superways. Many of us have done it before, I'm sure.
How about Oregon??: From July 13 through July 31, Hood River, Oregon, is hosting the Gorge Games. If you have teeny boppers at home, you can give it a go. It's an extreme sports fest, which means, the teens will have a blast. If they love kayaking, windsurfing, wake-boarding...they won't be disappointed. Also, you can check out the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, held around the same time. Culture and adventure...two shots at one go!
Put up your camp in the Zoo!: Right! These days, many zoos around are promoting sleepover programs. Meet the animals by day and sleep under the stars at night. Sounds like off-beat, no??
Enough of World History!: Of course! Let them read about world history in books. Why not take them on walk through the history of your own family? Take them to those places where you spent yoour childhood, or where your parents grew up. The old neighborhod always brings back sweet memories of the years gone by.
