[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None have been awful, but the worst of the best is any place where the point is scenery. E.g., driving through the Rockies.  DS loved Cody, Wyoming (rodeo, shoot out downtown, museums), loved Yellowstone, loved white water rafting. Wasn't impressed with the drive from there to the Black Hills. He's a really good road tripper, but when we'd say "look up from your video game, see how beautiful the scenery is," it was like, uh, yeah, whatever.

This is why I've put off going to Ireland, for example.  For now, cities (London, Paris) or places with lots of activities or things to see (Pompeii) are good.  [/quote]

Your kid sound like a little sh*t.  It's your job to take away the stupid video game.  With the attitude you are allowing him to develop, he will grow up to lack curiosity and be boring.  Do your damn job! [/quote]

I'm sure the poster's kid will grow up just fine. I remember when I was little and we traveled to DC (ironically) from Pennsylvania. My dad, who always got lost, somehow ended up in Embassy Row. My mom was so excited, screaming, "Kids, look at the embassies. We'll never see this again!" Well, my brother, sister and I couldn't care less. I probably didn't even know what an embassy was. We were busy flipping baseball cards in the back seat of our station wagon (we were about 7, 12, and 14). For years, my mom talked about that trip and how she couldn't believe we we were more interested in baseball cards than looking out the window at the unique sights of DC. Well, lo and behold, I grew up to be an intellectually curious adult with a master's degree. My brother is pursuing his PhD, and my sister is a teacher, also with a master's. And as a bonus, I moved to DC and get to see the embassies whenever I want. I still tease my mom about it![/quote]
