We just stopped at Green Gables in Prince Edward Island. Yes, they do serve raspberry cordial. There were many excited little girls. Why not base a trip around a book, a character, a short story, or a famous person? One example is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Visit the village. Read Longfellow’s poem about The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and visit his house in Boston. Have you read any of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books? Her family lived in several house. Look at this blog post about the author’s vacation to three of those houses. Here are places with connections to Laura Ingalls Wilder. Okay, you get the idea. What is your child’s favorite book? Where did the author live? Where do the characters in the book live? Take a trip! Think how much more meaningful the book will be.
