We all plan foreign vacation based on our interests alone. We mostly do not ask our children where they would like to go or what they are most interested to see. Once we reach our destination, we just allow our children to tag along. While we are happily enjoying ourselves and when the kids complain of boredom, we appease them with ice creams. But San Diego make you all feel happy.
Poor children; they can eat ice creams at their home town itself.
What children are mostly interested when on tour?
- They like to visit zoos or national parks where they can see animals, birds, and aquatic creatures.
