we will never be able to take our kids everywhere I have been, but I hope to get them to some of them, most likely will be this side of the country.
Nothing wrong with that. Not sure where you're from, but there is so much to do within a day or two drive of any given area that it'll keep you busy for years. Just trying to stay at the state parks in my state will keep me busy for many many years!
I agree with the poster that said when there's a will, there's a way, but how do ordinary people get their kids to Alaska or Hawaii, or even across the county with driving? 5 days one way? You'd need to have a month off! Unless you teach, that's not going to happen. A plane ticket is $500 from Michigan to California. It would cost us $2500 to fly my family there. I'll never want to go there bad enough to make the sacrifices necessary to make that work. Not in the cards for us. I think we can get 1600 miles away, and that'll max us out. 6 days of travel in two weeks is the best it'll get. But there's a ton to do between here and 1600 miles away.
