As we’ve traveled around the United States, we’ve occasionally published roundups of “what to do” in a specific city or destination. These stories tend to be list based and are high-level recommendations of the most family-friendly venues and attractions.
I have a love affair with maps and when I discovered this interactive tool, I thought I would try and list some of these stories in a visually compelling (and clickable) way. Expect this map to evolve as we work our way around the country and the world.
As the saying goes, “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”
