[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what international travel has to do with SES.

We just have no interest.  Certainly not afraid - not curious and not interested.   Could change as our kids grow.  We aren't against it, just haven't ever had a good reason to go - plenty to see here in the US and we don't have the travel bug.   Going on a trip to walk around Europe doesn't sound relaxing to us.

I can relate.  We actually are working our way around the US with the kids. There is so much to see here! This last summer we did 2 weeks in Alaska, which was such an incredible experience! Being in Denali is almost like being on another planet. We also loved Jackson Hole, WY.  We went with an outfitter and took horses down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and camped, it was unreal. We have a huge map in our study and have tacks where we want to visit, each year we go to at least 2 places (one for a solid 2 weeks). we sprinkle a few 3-4 day weekends in there as well to locations near here.

To say the least, we are an outdoors type of family ( we have all boys as well) and have really enjoyed exploring the US. This summer we are looking forward to spending a week in Bar Harbor Maine, and have never been.

No real desire to leave the country until we have exhausted what is here. We certainly have the travel bug, but just for the US. The cool thing is that my kids are so well versed in American History.  Whenever they are doing a unit in school about some sort of event, we take a trip. For instance, they learned about the battle of Gettysburg and took them to see a battle reenactment and did one of those ghost tours.[/quote]

You might find international travel more appealing when your kids get older. They'll take up a language and it'll be fun to use it. Or they will learn about places and it will be great to visit and experience the food and culture. Or they will take a history class and will want to teach YOU about the place they just learned about. Its the same type of fun you're describing above, not about indoctrinating yourself or putting global views above national views or whatever the weirdo PP is suggesting. [/quote]
