We’d like to tell a few of these lists that tell us where to go, where to go.

We’ve all seen that book at Barnes and Noble on our way to the children’s section, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. Might we suggest a more realistic title? 1,000 Places to See if You're Name is Bill Gates. Puhleeze! Who could afford to gallivant the globe endlessly sightseeing? If you could, you wouldn’t be reading this blog, you’d have servants to read it for you. Then, MSNBC adds some parental guilt into the mix by publishing its list of 15 places every kid should visit, including landmarks like the Boston Freedom Trail and Niagara Falls.

We wish we could afford to schlep the whole family across this great land of ours, but due to our dwindling financial situations, there are a few places we'd like our kids to visit first that are just as educational.

Mom•Logic's 5 Places Every Kid Should Visit:

1. The interior of mom and dad's brand new car
2. The orthodontist: Learn about the the dental industry first hand by getting $3,000 braces.
3. Their Aunt and Uncle who'll watch the kids for a week while parents jet off to a romantic trip to Paris.
4. An informative tour of a newly remodeled kitchen.
5. A college.
