It has been a long time since our family has taken a vacation. The last vacation we took was very memorable for us for the long and winding roads took us to mountain resorts, a huge dam, caves, hills and rivers.

So what would be an ideal vacation place for us? An ideal vacation place for our family is one where we can combine having fun and learning at the same time. Why so? The reason is not just about the homeschooling concepts that my two younger children need to understand but I have this innate need to recognize learning moments in every place and activity that we do.

Having fun can translate to going to seaside resorts to have a short dip in cool waters or to just walk barefoot in the sand. Marveling at the flora and fauna is exciting too.

Learning means going to art galleries and museums and knowing about the history of the place of choice.

Surfing the net got me interested in a certain place called Isle of Wight. My husband and our son are avid fans of the Isle of Man TT so this place, Isle of Wight piqued my interest.

Reading about the place made me realize that this is just the perfect place to go on vacation, not just for my family but to other people looking for a wonderful place to stay. Two key phrases that got me excited were dinosaur fossils and outstanding natural beauty. After exploring these wonderful places, it would be nice to relax at the Isle of Wight Hotel. I hope to explore villages where the houses have thatched roofs and gardens with scented colourful flowers blooming all around.

Ahhh, it is nice to think about these places and imagine. Who knows, when we are able to afford having a vacation like this, I already know where we would go.
