Planning trips

I love traveling.

But the children and traveling... I want to them to see all the states .... and have great memories of the trips so... we have started slowly.  Mainly visiting with family and they loved New Orleans with Aunt Martha and Uncle Bob - we did the aquarium, rode a paddle wheel boat and walked the streets of the French Quarter and had bienets at Cafe Dumond.  Good yummy memories. 

Kentucky we've been camping and a bit of spelunking in some  historical caves with Grammy and  Grandpa Michael and pick blueberries and make bread and pickles and jams. Picking strawberries at the Amish farm was a lot of fun too.   Another yummy trip!

We are going to Springfield, MO over Spring Break with Jenny and her children.  They are in national basket ball tournament!  So while we will see basket ball games... we will also be visiting their Boy Scout Museum, Laura Ingalls Wilder home where she wrote her books,  The Presidents Museum, maybe the Titanic Exhibit (that's in Branson) :)  I don't want to overwhelm the children but 2 things a day shouldn't be too bad .   :-)   
We are supposed to be scout camping Saturday 21st but we'll have to wait and see - b/c while MO is only a 6 1/2 hour drive - we just might be tuckered out. 

So... WV, TX, LA, KY, NC,  down.... 45 more to go....  :)   Any tips for future trips?  

Have a super rest of the week!
