Hi,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tell you about a new educational family travel website, Fun Family Field Trip. www.funfamilyfieldtrip.com. The information is free and there are lots of great destinations for family vacations and / or outings. For each destination there are detailed sample itineraries, fun facts, resources, travel tips, and more. Thought it might be a helpful tool as we get closer to summer.
