There are Many Adventures Available in our Own Country
We live in an amazing country. I have only visited a small fraction of the great cities across our large country, but I have seen enough to be extremely impressed. I know there are many who have not done a lot of traveling. In my family growing up, we did a lot of camping, and went to Disneyland occasionally, but that was it. I guess I am the odd egg out. I am the only one of my siblings or parents who has ever left the country either. I believe you have to leave to know what we really have here.
If you are like my family, I encourage you to get out and experience the United States. My recommendations start with taking a trip up to Yellowstone Park and renting a cabin. Next hit the ski slopes in Utah’s rocky mountains and while you are there, head down to Moab to do some mountain biking on the Slick Rock bike trail. Later, travel to Illinois and take a Chicago boat tour followed by a visit to the top of Sears Tower. The next thing on your list is to go on a dinner cruise on the Mississippi River. And then book a flight up to Alaska for a salmon and halibut fishing excursion.
You get the idea. These are all things that we all would desire to do, so let’s go do them. Life is for living and sharing experiences with our family. While it may not be realistic to do everything we want at once, plan it out, take a trip every six months. Spend some time with your family in a new setting.
