Vacations Blog

If you are considering a vacation in New York, planning ahead is the only method to go. The’re simply so many things to see and do that you need to have at least a general idea of how you would like to spend your days before you can even begin to get started. New York is one of the greatest urban centers in the world, it didn’t get that way without a reason and it has a long history that is part of its greatness.

If I were to select how to spend my time in New York and what wonderful things about New York City to introduce my children to, I would select to present them with those items that bore the most historical significance first as a way for that to really sink in and not be competing with the Nintendo Shop or the really cool keyboard at FAO Schwarz. I would want my children to figure out the history of our country good and bad and I want them to someday instill in their own children the importance of that history.

By visiting the national parks first, I will have enjoyed the advantages of the amount tag (free is good almost anyway you slice it, particularly when you and your children are becoming an education) in addition to fresh minds on which to impart this crucial know-how about the birth of our democracy. Ellis Island is a great place to see, but I think I will show them the statue from afar in place of taking the ferry ride about. There is just so much to do in New York and every second counts. I want them to have a marvelous time as much as I want them to gain some great insights that they can share with their friends at school as well (something other than the latest and greatest new Game Cube game that is showing up soon).

A few of the important our natural resources I’d like to take my children include: Federal Hall, where Washington was inaugurated, Grant’s Tomb, Theodore Roosevelt’s Birthplace, and Castle Clinton, which was designed as a way to keep invaders out. it is important to take them to Saint Paul’s Church. Not for religious reasons but for Religious freedom issues. I think there’s a significant lesson to be learned here even today, perhaps particularly today.

I think the lessons that can be learned about the history of our country in New York City are just as essential as the lessons that can learned in Washington or Philadelphia. This country has taken many steps along the road to democracy and we’ve stumbled a couple of times en route. There would have never been the Salem Witch Trials, the Civil War, or the Civil Rights Movement if he hadn’t but we’ve come so far and still have so far to go. I want my children to learn from our past and to look forward to our future.

I think these are the lessons we can study from our state parks and those are much more valuable than the lessons we can learn in toy stores and throwing Frisbee in Central Park. I want my children to travel to museums and toy stores and see new cultures, I in addition want them to take home with them a deep sense of the history of our great country.
