That sounds like a cool trip. And I love that you gave the trip a name. That adds to the excitement of it all. I may have to try that the next time we go on vacation.

Thanks! I will say that planning it out closer to home is a lot easier than using google maps to kinda figure it out. I think it would be a lot of fun for a ten year old and friends.

Thank Calli. I think it’s always fun to change things up a bit. Don’t think they’d want every day of every trip to be a treasure hunt, though.

terrific blog – the kids loved mangos and they dont grow here so we invented a trip called the great mango hunt where we took 6 weeks 2 adults 4 kids( and picked up a toddler along the way) and headed north into queensland looking for where mangos grow. found them they all had filled their bellies many times over picked up lots of other treasures and still goes down as a very memorable holiday.

I've been thinking about doing this for my son (age ten) and his friends. An afternoon of traveling around town, or even the immediate area, map in hand, maybe something similar to a treasure hunt. Great ideas here. Thank you. And a filling X post. Silvia @ SilviaWrites

Great post Ann, looks like a wonderful way to keep kids engaged in some of the more boring attractions we encounter when traveling. X was a tough one for sure – I’m just sad it’s near the end of the alphabet, I really want to go out with a bang!

Well, now when I think of your X I get that song stuck in my head again.

Ha ha! Can I say that it was both a really long time and really quick at the same time? The problem is, I don’t have any trip I’m currently researching, so I had to think something up and went with the Eiffel Tower. But, since I’m not really looking at things to do there, I didn’t want to spend a lot of time researching an imaginary trip. Once I figured out the wheres, though, the rest was actually really quick.

Thanks!
