As part of our (or rather my) travel goals, I'd like us to be able to visit as many of the 500 Places that Frommers has listed as places to visit with your children! I think it's so important for us to show our children the world and have them learn about history and culture firsthand. The starting point will be from when Halle was born and hopefully we can complete them all before they turn 19. This page will keep the list in one spot and I will add links to our travel stories as we visit new places! (the list was found here)
Anything marked with an * indicates we either travelled there without the kids, or I travelled there on my own (before Brett).
As of April 10, 2019: We have visited 9 of the 500 Places with our children. Only 491 to go!
