The first time I visited the East Coast I think I was 8 years old …. maybe 10. My family took a 6-week trip visiting so many states I lost count. What stuck in my memory the most was the East Coast. Why? Because of the history. It’s everywhere! Now that I have kids, I want them to experience history up close too. A road trip is a perfect way to use the world as your classroom and make awesome family memories.

Included are super fun ideas that will also super-size your child’s learning about US History, Geography, and famous people & places.
