FOUND! fun activity for family.
Letterboxing. Go hi-tech, use a GPS, and call it Geocaching! In a feature article of BJUP's Homeschool Helper Vol.18, No. 3 July 2006, I found a unique opportunity for my family to have fun exploring our world. What is it? I looked it up.

I also went to www.letterboxing.org and was surprised to find an opportunity to go exploring within a twenty mile radius of my home. My husband laughs when I get so excited about something, I know nothing about, and want to tell the whole world how great it is! I guess I am doing that now. I just can't wait to go on my first treasure hunt - I only hope my excitement will rub off on the rest my bunch. We are excited about doing this around Vero Beach when we go on vacation over Labor Day.

Posted by joexandxkim We are geocachers. It is a great family activity. We've found it is a great way to learn about the history of our area, because a lot of the caches are at historical monuments that we didn't even know about! I hope your family has fun with it!
