Are you looking for a family vacation that could bump a few things off of your bucket list? Smithsonian Journey's has you covered. They are currently offering a stunning voyage to the lands of Gods and Heroes. This trip is a family adventure through Italy, Greece and Turkey that lasts from July 26 to August 6, 2011.

Along your trip, you will sail by the Island of Sicily and have the opportunity to view the Stromboli Volcano. Lunch will be served overlooking the caldera in Santorini.

This trip is sure to satisfy the adults and the kids. For your young explorers, Smithsonian Journeys will allow them to take part in a mock archaeological excavation, hunt for treasure in ancient Athens, and learn about stars, constellations, and navigation.
While the kids are participating in an ancient world grape stomp, the adults will be tasting a variety of Mediterranean wines.
