This Boston area museum lets kids see WWII tanks in action Watch WWII tanks in action, then walk among an impressive collection of restored military vehicles from WWI to present day.

If you love military history, the American Heritage Museum is worth the trip, especially during their summer reenactments.

The American Heritage Museum in Massachusetts has a great collection of WWII vehicles. This gem is a must visit if you're in the Boston area.

A Photo Tour of The Ancient Spanish City of Segovia Exploring the Roman aqueduct, Segovia Cathedral, and Alcazar of Segovia

Day-tripped from Madrid to Segovia and found ourselves staring up at a 2000-year-old Roman aqueduct. The city stacks 2700 years of history into walkable blocks. From Iberian settlements to a cathedral that inspired Disney's castle design.

Inside Volcano Tour, Thrihnukagigur Volcano รžrรญhnรบkagรญgur is the only place on planet Earth where you can descend into a dormant volcano and safely explore its massive lava chamber. It is truly a one of a kind experience.

I just learned about รžrรญhnรบkagรญgur Volcano in Iceland. You ride a lift 120 meters down into an ancient magma chamber, the only place on Earth where it is safe to step inside a volcano.

Has anyone been there? I'd love to hear about your experience.

Most visitors to Mount Rushmore have no idea thereโ€™s a hidden chamber behind Lincolnโ€™s headโ€ฆa 70-foot tunnel meant to hold Americaโ€™s โ€œHall of Records.โ€ Inside is a sealed vault containing porcelain panels that tell the story of this historic site. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Unfortunately, itโ€™s inaccessible to visitors.

Android app is still coming along. I didnโ€™t realize how different the Play store approval process was from the App Store.

Hereโ€™s a peak as we get closer.

Submitted an update this morning to the App Store for the DuckAbroad app. It will improve the apps initial load times to speed up journaling. Should be approved in the next 24 hours.

After many weeks of development, I'm almost ready to launch the new Hidden History Hunt feature to DuckAbroad.

Families will travel to 5 destinations, solving puzzles and trivia questions along the way. Each unlocking a new destination until you complete the quest and earn a new badge.

In America, we once stood on the shoulders of giants... Waterhouse, Salk, Sabin, Kendrick & Eldering as they saved countless lives.

Now, we throw away centuries of research for gossip, conspiracies & fears.

Once again, proving that humans will listen to history in school and but never learn it.

Long days. We're usually out exploring by 9am and we're not back in our room until 9 or 10pm. Unless it's a beach vacation, we don't relax well ๐Ÿ˜€
