History Trippin' 

Our days are not always filled with touring. We may tour different attractions one or two days in a row and then stay at the campground for a day or two catching up on our book work, laundry, chores, etc. When the weather is bad we often stay in and watch a movie or let our imaginations run wild playing with the kids. I’m getting pretty good at playing “war”, we’ve made some really elaborate Lego houses and ships, and we build a mean fort out of dirty clothes.We’ve also had a lot of fun playing the games that we brought along. To save space (this would work for people with small houses anywhere) you can take the directions, the game board and the pieces out of the box and put them in a heavy duty zip lock bag, which now come in very large sizes. Here are our top ten games for the road.If you’ve never played one of these, try them. Several of them are great learning games, especially #3 and #1. I love it when the kids are having so much fun that they don’t realize they’re learning something!
