The boys loved our trip to India.  They simply fell in love with traveling.  It doesn’t help that we have a world map hanging in the bathroom, there are plenty of opportunities to look at all the places we could discover.

Chris and I talked about travel and something we felt was important to do with the boys.  It is a big world but increasingly smaller.  One of the 21st century skills often talked about is global learning.  How better than going places and seeing how other cultures live.  We certainly saw a lot in India and it piqued their curiosity.

So that led to making a plan.  Each year after school ends we will try to take “big trip.”  We will choose a place to visit, learn a little bit about it and then go and discover.  After much conversation- still ongoing some days- we decided our 2014 trip will be to London.

I have started a Pinterest board to collect ideas for places to go and things to see.  It is 10 months away but it is exciting to start planning!
