FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ATTENTION PARENTS: NEED SOME FRESH IDEAS FOR TRAVEL WITH THE KIDS THIS YEAR? Area Sites Featured in a New Guide for Exploring Virginia With Children! Who says you have to head far away to vacation? There are 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 Virginia 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 VIRGINIA. This book is part of series of best-selling regional travel guides for ten states in the South and Midwest. KIDS LOVE VIRGINIA 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 600 places and events specifically designed for children between the ages of 2-15. At the beginning of each chapter, we list “Favorites.” At the end of each chapter you’ll find “tried and true” suggested lodging and dining that appeals to kids. Find quarterly updates and major changes to the book on the publisher’s website. This keeps the book current for several years after publication. Travel trends indicate many people seek opportunities to learn while taking some time off. Others look for unusual things to do and places to go where they can enjoy something different. Virginia is full of these kind of sites and events. Kids can discover where ponies swim and dolphins dance, dig into archaeology and living history, or be dazzled by natural bridges and tunnels. It’ll tell you how Colonial, American Indian and Pioneer folks lived and even how to dance the Virginia Reel or cook with stones. You’ll know where to go to learn the secrets of making clay bricks, digging for fairy stones, commanding a battleship, or making pinch pots. Another weekend you’ll have all the travel details you need to go behind the scenes of famous parade floats or walk through Holy Land. Of course, there’s plenty of kid-friendly details on nationally known sites like Mt. Vernon, Luray Cavern’s fried eggs, places where the Civil War began (Harpers Ferry) and ended (Appomattox), Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown. Want Action? Trolley, trot or walk past famous homes. Drive your car underwater or through a zoo. Kayak many quiet rivers or raft the whitewaters, downtown! Ride a batteau on the James, touch a starfish, or catch a wink from a mermaid. Pack your knapsack as you follow “A Soldier’s Life”. If you’re hungry, KIDS LOVE VIRGINIA knows where to make potato chips, gourmet cakes & curds. It’ll tell you how to eat your way through apple, birthday cake, pumpkin & peanut festivals. Unusual theme restaurants include old taverns or railroad depots, a gristmill serving yummy corn cakes, dining in the same room Washington once celebrated birthdays, or reminiscing simpler times on Walton’s Mountain. The book is formatted in 6 geographical zones (a bonus chapter includes Washington, DC) providing maps, engaging 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 VIRGINIA and other titles for Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio can be purchased for $14.95 at bookstores, online or ordered directly at www.KidsLoveTravel.com.
