Fun with the Family in Southern California: Hundreds of Ideas for Day Trips with the Kids

As a mom of 3 young ones under age 11, I am always looking for things to do to avoid the "mom, were boorrreeeddd!" problem. I found this book at first at my local library and was so impressed I thought "I HAVE to have it!" The authors have broken California down into the following areas: Central Coast, Greater Los Angeles, Orange County, The Inland Empire and Beyond, The Deserts, and San Diego County. At the end of each section is a monthly guide to events; seasonal events that happen regularly. Addresses, phone numbers, minimal directions and often times web sites are provided for ease of travel. They also include admission prices as well as suggestions for good family oriented restaurants.As a resident of the Inland Empire, I was impressed with the coverage of both well-known and much lesser known places and things to do. This is my kind of guide: easy to follow, great index in back and a good price. I can't wait to hop in the car and go!
