5 Ideas for a Brain Building Vacay💪
Happy Friday, Reader!
What are your weekend plans? Our family is headed to the beach tomorrow and it got me thinking.... how can we make our vacation educational but (obviously) keep it fun!?
I thought back to beach trips with my grandmother. She would sit on the shoreline of St. Simons Island and tell me about the Atlantic shelf, old world explorers, and all types of ocean life. I would hang on to every word of her stories... which is why learning anywhere at anytime is so important to me now.
So, inspired by my upcoming vacay and fond memories with my Gran-Jan, I created an infographic of 5 ideas to make your next vacation educational.
Happy travels (& learning),
