This weekend I’m in Washington, DC with 2 of my kids doing one of our favorite kinds of travel… travel for the stories.
Today we visited the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
Books and classrooms teach facts.
Travel brings the stories to life.
When kids stand where history happened, they remember it differently. They ask better questions. They connect the past to the world they live in today.
As a travel advisor, this is something I always encourage families to think about. Travel isn’t just about checking destinations off a list, it’s about experiencing the stories, culture, and history that shape a place.
This weekend, my kids are learning that firsthand here in Washington, D.C.. 🇺🇸
Where has travel helped bring history to life for you?
