Do you ever daydream about places you’d like to visit for an awesome, extended, souped-up homeschool field trip? Here are thirteen of mine:<\/p>\n

1. Washington, D.C<\/strong>. — I’ve never been and I’d love to take my kids to see our nation’s capital. I’d also definitely want to visit the Smithsonian.<\/p>\n

2. Philadelphia, PA<\/strong> — I would love to see Constitution Hall, the Liberty Bell and all the other historical sites in this beautiful city.<\/p>\n

3. Williamsburg, VA<\/strong> — I can’t imagine how awesome it must be to step back in time via the historical reenactments in Williamsburg.<\/p>\n

4. Kennedy Space Center<\/strong> — I’ve actually been there a couple of times, but I would love to see an actual shuttle launch. It’s awe inspiring on TV; I can’t imagine how it would feel to be there.<\/p>\n

5. Yosemite National Park<\/strong> — The pictures are so beautiful. It would be incredible to see Old Faithful.<\/p>\n

6. Redwood National Park<\/strong> — I can’t imagine that the pictures do it justice.<\/p>\n

7. The Pacific Coast<\/strong> — I’ve seen the Atlantic Ocean, but never the Pacific. I’d love to see it anywhere along the coastline, but I’ve heard that Washington State is beautiful.<\/p>\n

8. St. Louis<\/strong> — I’d love to see the Arch and I’ve heard that there are a lot of fun, educational things to do for free in St. Louis. Free, fun, educational are always a good combination.<\/p>\n

9. Rome, Italy<\/strong> — The Colosseum, the Forum, the roads and aqueducts. Wow! I’d love the opportunity to see, in person, all the things we’ve been studying about. Of course, we’d have to take a little side trip to Venice to ride in a gondola down the Grand Canal.<\/p>\n

10. Egypt<\/strong> — the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Nile. Are you starting to get the impression that I’m a history buff? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

11. Jerusalem <\/strong>— I can’t imagine walking where my Lord walked and getting a first-hand look at the land of His birth, the places where He taught, the river where He was baptized. Incredible.<\/p>\n

12. The Creation Museum<\/strong><\/a> — This one, I’m trying to talk my husband into actually doing. It would make an awesome weekend trip. I’ve heard it’s well worth the visit.<\/p>\n

13. New York City<\/strong> — Can I call myself an American if I didn’t want to see the Statue of Liberty with my own eyes? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

What about you? Where would you like to visit? Have you been to any of the places on my wish list? If so, I’d love to live vicariously through you; if you’ve posted about it, leave a link to your blog.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
