I like your site. In addition to helping with travel, who can resist a site with headlines like: <em>Who cut off Van Gogh's ear?</em> and <em>Donald Duck is 75 today!</em>. I trust that you'll report on<a href="http://www.edmouse.com" rel="nofollow"> Ed Mouse's upcoming fifth birthday</a>. lol Thanks for the comment. I like your site.

We're trying to do the same everytime we go somewhere. We have 5 and 7 yr old ones, so havent made any longer trips yet, one of the longest "expeditions" is going to be in two weeks time - will be going to Scotland via Wales and the coming back through North and Central England... It takes considerable amount of time to plan and schedule everything, not to mention all the bookings we need to make. It's really surprising that information is not that easily accessible, I mean there's plenty, but involves lots of google'ing... So far in our trips, we used to learn basic things like, east/west/north/south, sun movement, animals, birds, bits of history (kings, queens, major events/battles)... This is basically one of the reasons we created www.slipperysnake.co.uk, it's primary goal could be condensed into "educational family days out". We trying to follow our kids curriculum as they go and adding materials to the site, with short introduction (it's not our goal to provide comprehensive information) and list of places to visit that relate to that topic/subject.... Haven't collected that many yet, but it's ongoing process, if you have any ideas it would be great if you could share with us pls! Very interesting subject.
