study one new topic in depth each year

My elderly aunt used to tell me stories about her uncle (my grand-uncle), who would study one subject all year, like a particular Civil War battle, or the Mormon migration, or Spanish Missions, for example. Then in the summer, he and his wife would climb in the car and go visit the battlefield, or drive the Mormon migration route, or follow the Mission trail.

I think that is an awesome way to plan a vacation…I’ll have to do some thinking about what I want to study.
