Good Morning everyone...My Grandson is going back to school to get credits that he needs to enter college. He's signed up for night school & one of the classes is American History. He hates history (he says) but guess this is a class he has to take. I immediately thought of Liz and all the places she's traveled along the eastern coast. These areas & places mesmerized me ... I was absolutely awed. Anyway, I told Thomas...let me share some 'history' of this country we are so blessed to live in...because I think that might give you a whole different attitude about our American history....so I went to try to find her posts so I could send Thomas the e-mail with the info & he could download it...anyhow, is there an easier way to access her travels so I can help show this 'California' kid that there is much more to see than just this state & there is history that is fascinating on the eastern side of our great nation. Any help will be very much appreciated............................

I don't have the link right here but send him to her Blog.....that is her "history" book.

If you want what Liz has done this year, go to her blog for this year: http://wheresliz-2011.blogspot.com/
To go back further on Liz's travels, go to her blog from last year: http://wheresliz-liz.blogspot.com/

I've kept up with the places I've been - highly recommend the post on Valley Forge, as that's a part of American History - that particular post of mine is here:

Unfortunately, unless he has a better teacher than most of us had - American History classes are boring - memorize places, facts, dates - with none of the excitement about it. At least that's how I felt. In college I finally had a history professor who made history come alive. I started taking history courses as electives if I could get in his classes.

History was NOT my subject. However, I could have been a little more interested had I known about genealogy and could have connected ancestors with some of the major events!

Thanks so much for the response...I have posted the infor. to him. I hope it is as inspiring to him as it has been for me. Thank you to all of you for helping me to help him...
