Title: Planning your family summer vacation...

Or maybe just weekend day trips?  Well here's a site that highlights "Day Long Revolutionary War Road Trips" (http://www.revolutionaryday.com/) in the northeast.

How about a week long boat trip, "A Revolutionary Week Along the Champlain Canal" (http://www.revolutionaryday.com/champlaincanal/default.htm)?

Of course, no serious Revolutionary War history buff would miss The Fort Ticonderoga National Historic Site (http://www.fort-ticonderoga.org/), Saratoga National Historical Park (http://www.nps.gov/sara/index.htm),  the Oriskany Battlefield State Historic Site (http://nysparks.state.ny.us/historic-sites/21/details.aspx), or Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site (http://nysparks.state.ny.us/historic-sites/17/details.aspx).

These are just a few of the many Revolutionary War historical sites in NY.  What a fantastic way to spend a day or a weekend with the family away from the distractions of modern life; and to rekindle the fire of the history and heritage of being an American.
