Destinations A to Z

Destinations and Local Attractions
Setting up weekly field trips to locations you like to visit or even spots you mean to go but always forget about is one of the many benefits of the Alphabet Summer structure.  Below is a listing of common and not-so-common places to go during your summer break.  Some of the places are already on your schedule and have to be visited anyway based on your household needs and errands. Wouldn’t it be fun to do it during the day or week you’re celebrating that letter?  I also like to base our outings on coupons in order to keep our spending under control.  I frequently check the Sunday paper, websites, the Chinook Book - chinookbook.ne/ (previously named the Blue Sky Guide), and the Entertainment Book  - entertainment.com (previously named the Happenings Book)for inspiration and savings.
