I have not had the fortune to be able to go many places in my life. I would love to travel, more than some. I even have a list of all the places I want to visit. I have a list that I have been making of the top destinations in all the fifty states of the USA that I want to visit, and I also have a planned itinerary and list of foreign places I want to visit and in what order.. this will be another post though!
As much as the idea of learning about other cultures(which fascinates me too) and being a world traveler compels me, it is obviously not an option at this point in my life! And it is not an option for many of us out there! What makes me sad is that so many of us complain that "there is nothing to do where we live". Our states or towns have a tendency to hold little of our attention. My question is how many of you have actually experienced the inexpensive wonder of a place around you? So, this is where my 7,6, and 5 things to do comes in!

GO TO THE MUSEUM!
There is nothing as great as learning while you are playing, and getting to spend quality time together. Not to mention, everyone can gain some knowledge by going to a museum, whether you are three years, thirty years or just young at heart :)
The other great thing? There are museums everywhere in our great nation, some cost alot of moolah, and some are free! Your choice which you visit. One of my favorite museums cost a little, not alot, but it is in Denver Colorado. Luckily for me, I have learned ALOT and gained alot of knowledge and passion for learning throughout my entire life from visiting tiny museums in towns of 4,000 people or less. I have also experienced alot of this from large and amazing visits to really neat museums. My favorite field trip being a chaperone was to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, it's awesome to experience with a group of first graders who love to learn. But, I absolutely love going to the Wyoming State Museum. We can go as much as we want, everyone there is super nice, and best of all? It's free! They have a neat room where kids can learn and dress in period costumes, along with alot of other super cool educational activities. It's a great place to take an educational time out from your hectic life!
And museums are a great location to visit for educational activities. There are often readings or conferences or other such events at these great places.
