Day 1: Italy
- Take a tour of Rome. Before you watch, pull out an extra set of sheets and dress up in Togas, the garments worn by citizens of ancient Rome.
- Learn about the Roman Colosseum.
- Indulge in delicious Italian food and make homemade pasta and tomato sauce.
Day 2: Mexico
- Explore the Ancient Mayan Ruins.
- Take a day at the beach! Put on your sun hat, get out your lawn chair, turn up the beach tunes, and make a tropical, family-friendly drink. Spend the whole day outside at the “beach” and enjoy quality time with your family.
- Get the whole family involved in making healthy fajitas together.
Day 3: Walt Disney World
- Start the day with Mickey Mouse pancakes. Just whip up your favorite batter, butter the pan, and pour three circles in the shape of Mickey Mouse.

- Dress in your favorite Disney tee and get your ears on, too.
Day 4: Outdoor Adventures
- Visit the National Parks of the West and take a tour of Bryce National Park or Carlsbad Caverns.
- Set up a tent in the backyard and camp backyard-style! If you don’t have a backyard or if the weather isn’t cooperating, set up your blankets, sleeping bags, or tent in your living room for just as much fun.
- Get the bar-b-que fired up and grill hot dogs, hamburgers and beans. Don’t forget the s’mores for dessert.
Day 5: New York City
- Watch this great video to get your bearings on the basics of New York City.
