[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm pushing 40, and I'm not sure London or Paris are truly "vacations." Trips, sure. But not vacations. Touring cities and museums would be a drag for most kids (and many adults). [/quote]

Huh?  My mom took us on a trip to London, parts of England, and Paris when we were 10 and 7.  Both of us like museums, and we rented a car and drove out to Stone Henge, Bath (to see all those Roman ruins), and the White Horse of Uffington (I had just read a book about a girl who lived near the white horse of Uffington, so I was really curious).  Lovely scenery, and everything looks different from a car trip in the US since things are so old and there are castle ruins everywhere.  Totally magical for a 10 year old girl.  I liked the grisly stories at the tower of London.  We rode the chunnel to Paris and spent a couple days there.  My brother had steak-frites at every bistro and was in heaven when he got a steak with fries and a lump of butter on top of it (not healthy, but it's vacation!). We wandered through the open air market and got amazing cheese and chocolate croissants.  Went up the Eiffel tower.  My parents skipped out on the Louvre and went to the Musee D'Orsay instead because she was worried about our ability to trek through the Louvre when we were so young.  We had a great time, and it was mostly relaxing and a change of scenery.  I think it's all about your attitude.  It was definitely far more memorable in the long run than summer after summer trip in Ocean City, and far from a "drag."[/quote]
