I wouldn't exactly say I've been missing it, Bob.

I find it strange that now that we live a bazillion miles away, I want to visit American landmarks. Ooh, maybe we can stop over in New York so the girls can see the Statue of Liberty, or DC so the girls can see where the president lives. OOOhhh, we still haven't visited the Grand Canyon.... We are sorely missing American Social studies and civics here- but thankfully also missing the crazy political crap that has been going on.

I've heard that there is some tax law that we can only be in the US for 30 days in a calendar year without having to pay taxes or some such. So, if we go home for 30 days in the summer, we can't go back again until the following summer? Something like that.  Anywho, we have to make the most of our 30 day limit.  Maybe stop off in another country- because we don't technically have to be back here until the middle of August. 

So, we are looking for suggested itineraries for July into August. WWYD?  What would you do? Please post your suggestions in the comments below- maybe a budget conscious one and an extravagant one??  

And....GO!

  1. I love Washington, D.C. I would stop there then maybe take the train to Virginia and show the girls where Daddy proudly served in the Navy. I would then keep going to the Smokey Mountains. Maybe some camping while learning about the historic underground railroads, let the girls become Jr. Rangers, head over to Roaring Fork to take the auto nature trail where you'll be taken through a narrow path with sweeping views of mountains while driving along side waterfalls. You also get to see historic buildings and log cabins*
