I was determined to find a way to teach my children while we vacationed.  It is easy enough to introduce small children to new ideas, but two boys in high school only wanted to hike, swim, and play on the Internet.  My husband and I finally hit on the idea of choosing historical locations around the world.  Last year we spent two weeks at holiday house st remy de provence.  The beautiful little French home surrounded by mountains offered modern conveniences and broadband but was close to historical places.  I loved the time we spent there, especially since the boys got a very picturesque history lesson without even thinking about it.
