[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I for one think it's odd to prioritize international travel over domestic travel. Both are important for expanding horizons and learning about cultures. The US is not monolithic and has an amazing offering of natural wonders. Our family is taking mostly domestic vacations while the kids are young and international when the kids hit middle school, when we feel that they can better appreciate foreign foods, histories, and cultures. Also, for various reasons, traveling domestically for us when the kids are young is easier. We've taken trips to the major national parks (Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Volcanoes, etc.) and will go to Greece next year. Fwiw, domestic travel can be as expensive as international travel. And, it is odd as an adult to have traveled to the major European capitols, but never the other coast[/quote]

totally agree- this is what we are doing as well- we do one intl and 2 domestic trips every year, but more focusing on domestic while the kids are very little b/c they should know their own country and its lovely- the natl parks are awesome! Sun Valley is amazing, So is Antelope Canyon. We were ballooning in Cappadocia and the balloonist was like- oh you should go in new mexico -its awesome, so you shouldn't knock domestic travel at all.
