Celebrate your Birthday in Antarctica! This was my suggestion to my 8 year old son Matthew. I have 4 kids and alone time to focus on any of them is at a premium in our busy schedule of kenpo practices, Little League games, and a half dozen clubs. I decided that the only way to offer them undivided attention is to take them away individually- each on a special trip unique to their personalities for some time together. 

Matthew was turning 9 just a few days after my 40th birthday so I thought Antarctica would be the perfect place to celebrate these special occasions! My mom has always been a huge penguin fan so once we decided on Antarctica, it was a must to bring her along too for the perfect multi-generational adventure!
