Savvy Spotlight: Chronicle Books Kids Travel Library
Looking for some great ideas for traveling with kids this summer? We always find exactly what we are looking for in the Chronicle Books library. The blend of dreamily inspirational (there's a set of walks for families to do in Paris -- perhaps we should go to Paris...) and cleverly practical (the set of 52 Things to Do in a Car plus the Rubberneckers travel game) hits the mark squarely for perfect family travel.
Perhaps you'd like ideas of strolls with your kiddos through San Francisco, New York or Washington D.C.?
Looking for a wonderful way to tour the whole United States without leaving your den? Tour America: A Journey through Poetry and Art is truly lovely.
Play "I Spy" with Charlie the pup as he romps through the American South -- that sounds like fun at home or out!
And, when you are wondering why on earth this vacation seemed like a good idea in the first place (or rationalizing your staycation idea this year), settle down with a chilled glass and The Three Martini Family Vacation: A Field Guide to Intrepid Parenting.
Sometimes laughter is the best getaway of all.
