Web-Surfing Sunday: Virtual Field Trips

Meet Me At The Corner

So the Easter candy's gone already; you didn't make travel plans for spring break; and you're looking for activities to do with the kids this week. Well, if you can't go some place like New York City, I can bring it to you with this week's Web site.

MeetMeAtTheCorner.org offers "virtual field trips for kids." Kids appear in videos that explore places and people famous and hidden in New York City, from a tour of the Empire State Building to an interview with a subway troubador. There are also links to help you plan an actual visit to the Big Apple.

Do you have good sites to recommend for virtual travel? Please pass them along in the comments section below.
