A friend of mine gave me a great ides to have the kids, hubby and I make a list of all the places we would love to go. All of the world. And not to be restrained by just places we actually might make it to.
So, yesterday, right before lunch, we sat down and made up a list. We each took turns adding places we would love visit. The list has multiple purposes. One is to motivate us to travel as a family before the kids get too old. If we get to any of the places we will check it off and put the date of our travels on it. Second, each kids is going to get a copy of the list and as they find it on a map, they can check it off. Maybe we will go so far as to pick a couple places and learn a little more about them. There are a lot of things, fun things, we can do with the list.
So, here it is:
Ireland - Mommy
Alaska - LM
The Lighthouse - Boop
Italy - NG
Crested Butte - Mommy
Indian Pass - LM
Montana - Boop
Texas - NG

This is such a cool idea! Where oh where were these ideas when MY kids were little! Now they're all grown and gone. And how fun to see what everyone picked. I'd love to hear how Boop picked Japan and NG picked TN (YEA NG!!), and LM picked Alaska!
I need to try this exercise with the hubby. Maybe we'll FINALLY get a vacation!
I had wanted to put why they picked what they did, but it would have went on for pages!! Boop just put his finger on the globe and asked me where it was. NG thought it would be cool to go to TN (I agree!) and we actually have friends who just moved to Alaska. Check back in 20 years to see how far we really got - ha, ha!
