ATTENTION PARENTS: NEED SOME FRESH IDEAS FOR TRAVEL WITH THE KIDS THIS YEAR? Area Sites Featured in a New Guide for Exploring North Carolina With Children! Who says you have to head far away to vacation? There a hundreds of activities going on right in your own backyard for kids of all ages. Whether you’re planning a day trip, seasonal festival, weekend get-away or full-week excursion, look to North Carolina attractions for great kid-friendly diversions. But, planning trips can be so frustrating … especially when your kids seem bored and are begging for new ideas on something fun to do. Sure, go on the internet and try to plan a short family trip…it takes so much TIME! And, how can you decide which places are “kid-friendly” and a good value? “Traveling with family & friends shouldn’t be so hard. We wanted to make family time easy so, we researched and wrote this book” say parents/authors George and Michele Zavatsky. After 1000 hours of research and publishing, the result is their book, KIDS LOVE NORTH CAROLINA. This book is part of series of best-selling regional travel guides for ten states in the South and Midwest. KIDS LOVE NORTH CAROLINA has been kid-tested and the descriptions include great hints on what kids like best. This informative guide contains 288 pages packed full of over 500 places and events specifically designed for children between the ages of 2-15. Going to an area of the state you’re not familiar with? Just go to the “Favorites” listing by region and you can’t go wrong. Now, too, the publisher’s website: www.KidsLoveTravel.com posts quarterly updates of major changes and additions to the book. This keeps the book current for several years after publication. The goal - keep the books inexpensive and easy to use over and over again. Explore places where you can “discover” GOLD and pirate history, explore castles and strange houses, or learn of the “lost colony” or Mayberry. We’ll tell you how Moravian, Cherokee, and Old South folks lived and even how to say “Hello!” (Shiyo!) in Cherokee. You’ll know where to go to stand side-by-side a gem miner or a gold panner, watch a piece of furniture formed right before your eyes or learn the secrets of making energy from the sun (solar). Learn how to mine gems or stay overnight at Andy’s Homeplace. Another weekend you’ll have all the travel details you need to go behind the scenes of a Nascar pit crew or a TV/movie studio. Travel on an art expedition or climb around famous forts. Of course, there’s plenty of kid-friendly details on nationally known sites like Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain, Hatteras Lighthouse, and the Wright Brothers first flight. Want Action? Trolley or walk past famous landmarks. Like Water? Boat on rivers and canals, “waft” the waters, or ferry to islands. Meet aquatic exotics, raptors, or circle the Globe’s people, places and playthings. Look up, a whale named “Trouble” may be watching! Pack your knapsack as you hike to find amazing sand dunes, waterfalls, giant Chimney Rock, a Cradle of Forestry, and maybe a Venus fly trap or two. Or, ride the rails past old bridges and country sides (look out for train robbers!). Even round the turn at 80mph on a famous Speedway! If you’re hungry, KIDS LOVE NORTH CAROLINA knows where to sample pickles or be an Old World Moravian Cookie taste-tester. The book will tell you how to eat your way through seafood, chocolate, pumpkin and Easter egg festivals. Most restaurants serve their tangy native Carolina barbeque. Eat on top of a Rock, have tea with the Queen or enjoy a huge family-style meal at the Boone Inn. The book is formatted in 6 geographical zones providing maps, descriptions, websites, prices, etc. to save you lots of time. Web searching? Wasting Time? You won’t find all of this information together anywhere else! And, you will probably find there are at least 50 things to do within an hour of your home. Best of all, if you have a limited budget, don’t worry – our books list lots of places to visit for little or no charge! KIDS LOVE NORTH CAROLINA and other titles for Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia can be purchased for $13.95 - 14.95 at bookstores statewide, online, or ordered directly: www.KidsLoveTravel.com.
