The 2011 D.C.-Area Guide to Surviving Summer With Kids

Over 100 Inexpensive, Family-Friendly
Day Trips, Attractions, and Festivals

For children, summer is that beautiful time of year, when, in the words of William Carlos Williams, “the song sings itself” and, as Sam Keen puts it, “laziness finds respectability.”  Yet for moms and dads, those open-ended days with boisterous children can sometimes seem difficult to fill, and parents wish to create lasting memories of special family vacations for their children. However, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to see and do new, fun, and exciting things. Right here in the D.C. metro area (in Virginia, Maryland, and the capital itself), there are plenty of day trip destinations and attractions that will cost you only a fistful of dollars - or sometimes nothing at all. This guide is intended for the family on a budget, for the parents who want to ensure their kids have fun without spending the college fund.   

The 2011 D.C.-Area Guide to Surviving Summer With Kids is available as a very inexpensive ebook that can be read directly on your computer, iPhone, or eReader. For the Kindle version, click here. For the PDF version (which can be read using Acrobat Reader on your computer), the ePub version, or the Sony eReader versions of the book, click here.
