Some of the best sites are right in your backyard! Whether it be in Idaho or Kalamazoo, fabulous family fun is right around the corner. Make sure to look at your local paper, t.v. channels, state visitors guides and websites to see all the fun your missing in your own ‘hood.
In Illinois, I recently visited Cantigny Park, the former home and gardens of Robert McCormick of Tribune Newspaper fame. I was slightly disappointed, that due to a wedding, I was unable to tour his home and the gardens were lackluster because of a horrific winter for horticultural beauty, but all in all the trip was lovely. The weather was warm, the bugs were at bay and park visitors were happily strolling with strollers and tots in tow. Even the on-site war museum was packed with children enthralled by the military uniforms and chillingly life-like creations of landscapes scarred by wartime battles.
Below you will find some of the photos I had taken of the gardens at Cantigny Park. So go ahead and investigate the local color and sites with your kids this summer.
