ATTENTION PARENTS: NEED SOME FRESH IDEAS FOR TRAVEL WITH THE KIDS THIS YEAR? Area Sites Featured in a Guide for Exploring Pennsylvania With Children! It’s time to make those annual momentous decisions – where to spend spring and summer vacation? Your family time is valuable. Regardless of what’s going on around you, don’t give up on this year’s vacation plans. Just simplify your trips by going to a few of the hundreds of sites that surround you. But how can you decide which places are “kid-friendly” and a good value? Well, the authors of a best-selling travel guide series know. After 1000 hours researching and writing KIDS LOVE PENNSYLVANIA, 2nd Edition, parents George & Michele Zavatsky’s experiences can help. “Many families still take vacations, but shorter and closer to home” says author George Zavatsky. His wife and co-author adds “The problem is choosing little clusters of sites that will entertain and engage your children.” They both conclude: “Entertaining children really shouldn’t be so hard…that’s why we researched and updated this book.” After the tremendous success of their best-selling travel books, the couple spent a year taking children on excursions to all of the most unique places in Pennsylvania. The updated KIDS LOVE PENNSYLVANIA guidebook has many enhancements making it very user-friendly. There are more detailed regional maps, new and enhanced descriptions, and more listings with domain websites. All the listings have been kid-tested and the new descriptions include great hints on what kids (ages 2-15) like best! Going to an area of Pennsylvania you’re not familiar with? Just go to the “Favorites” listing by region (9 geographical zones) and you can’t go wrong. Now too, the publisher’s website posts quarterly updates of major changes to the book. This keeps the book current for several years after publication. The publisher’s goal is to keep the books inexpensive and easy to use over and over again. Kids can “discover” oil, meet Ben Franklin, or watch favorite toys being made. The book will tell you how “ducky” boats, Tall ships and railroads (straight, inclined and curved!) changed history and even how to find Christopher Columbus’ personal belongings. You’ll know where to go to stand side-by-side a coal-miner or pretzel-twister (and even get to try your hand at it), watch a glass bowl form before you eyes or learn the secrets of perfect pottery, guitars, wooden toys and motorcycles. Another weekend you’ll have all the travel details you need to go behind the scenes of a beehive farm or stamp your own coin, touch the “Bell” and be “Rocky”. Of course, there’s plenty of details on nationally known sites like Amish homes, schools (and food!); Lincoln/Gettysburg museums (“hang out” with Lincoln on the train heading into town); and the wonders of nature in PA - the “Grand Canyon”, the “Niagara”, Little Horses and the Famous Phil. If you’re hungry, KIDS LOVE PENNSYLVANIA knows where to be a candy taste-tester, make potato chips, pierogies and pizza, or tell you how to eat your way through apple, berry, maple and pumpkin festivals. Nearby many historical sites are unusual theme restaurants including a real log cabin and a railroad depot. When you’re full, take a relaxing trolley, train, boat or bike ride along well-planned paths past pieces of history. The book provides all the details a family needs to know (i.e. regional maps, directions, phone numbers, websites, prices) to save lots of time. It’s a wonderful resource to make short vacation plans or get to know your hometown better. Best of all, if you have a limited budget, don’t worry – the book has found lots of places to visit for little or no charge! Other “Kids Love” titles available for: Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia. KIDS LOVE PENNSYLVANIA can be purchased for $13.95 at bookstores statewide or ordered directly www.KidsLoveTravel.com
