With the start of the Fall and Holiday Travel Seasons, I wanted to introduce you all to the “Kids Love” Travel Book Series…and do a giveaway too!

I must say…I’m quite impressed.  Michele sent me the Kids Love I-75 book (makes sense, right, I’m in Ohio and I-75 runs right near our house) and I was struck right away with the comprehensive coverage the book provides for all the kiddo friendly activities around here.  I’m not from Ohio originally, so I don’t have the luxury of automatically knowing what fun kid friendly things there are to do in the area.  Ask me a kid friendly thing to do in or around the San Antonio area and I’ve got it covered.  But around here, I got nothing.

Well, I did have nothing. Now I have Michele’s fabulous book. And we now have what will likely be a never ending list of places to visit and things to see/explore in Ohio!!! And Georgia. And Florida. (Hmm…maybe a road trip is in order soon…)

With some expert advice and a little planning, you should be ready to “get out and go” on a family adventure! By  gathering the extra help from one of these travel books, you’ll have thousands of ideas that are sure to be a real hit with the kids!

This week, I’ll be giving away 5 of Michele’s books.  (And I’ll let you choose which books…ones that would help you find the activities in your area! She has quite a few Kids Love state guides available on her site. You can also find more information and ideas for kids travel games on her site as well.)
