The “educational” tag is SO over rated. Especially when it comes to summer
vacations. My parents (a self-employed
business man and an elementary school teacher) made it their mission to make
sure we learned something over the summer break. So while my friends were water skiing on Lake
Michigan or riding donkeys down to bottom of the Grand Canyon or hanging out
with Mickey & Minnie, my family was marching through the Smithsonian in DC
or traipsing along the Freedom Trail in Boston or sitting/snoozing through
historical lectures in the City of Brotherly Love.
Did I have VA-CAY Envy?
You bet I did!
