Besides fun and relaxation，vacations also provide chances to learn and grow.Below are several places that every kid in America should visit.
Ellis Island Museum，New York City
About 40 percent of Americans are offspring(后代)of someone who immigrated through this station.Visiting is a powerful experience，thanks to exhibits.
Lincoln Memorial，Washington，D.C.
This is a city of inspiring(鼓舞人心的)sights：the Washington Monument，the Arlington National Cemetery，and the Jefferson and Vietnam Veterans memorials.Still the 19foot statue of our 16th president is a can'tmiss.
Colonial Williamsburg，Williamsburg，Virginia
Kids growing up with email and iPods might not believe it，but there was life before electricity，and even before a United States.The 301acre openair museum shows hundreds of restored，reconstructed(重建的)，and historically furnished buildings，and guides who are dressed like people of that time tell the stories of the men and women of the 18thcentury city.
National Civil Rights Museum，Memphis
The motel where the Rev.Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.was killed is a museum recording the African American struggle from slavery to Rosa Parks and beyond.
Redwood National Park，California
Everyone feels small，in a good way，when walking in the shadows of 300foottall trees—many of which are more than 1，000 years old.
Monticello，Virginia
Besides The Declaration of Independence，one of Thomas Jefferson's other masterpieces is the estate (庄园)he designed and improved over the course of fifty years，located seven miles from the University of Virginia.
