Fall Colors
With the beautiful fall weather we have been having this week and are expected to have the rest of the week, there is no better time than now to get outdoors and experience the changing beauty around town.

Traveling with Kids? Be sure to book with a Kid-Friendly Hotel!
When traveling with kids, your hotel room will most likely get a lot of use due to naps, changing clothes, meal and snack times, etc. But you also will want to book a hotel room that is close to activities. Kids get worn out more quickly with lots of transportation and you will want them fresh for the activities you have planned.
Here are some kid-friendly features you might want to look for when booking your room:
• Adjoining rooms or larger rooms - this can give your kids enough room to move around and play.
• A separate seating area away from the beds/bedrooms - This will allow the adults a place to chat while the kids nap.
• Soundproofing - Whether you don’t want to upset other guests with noisy children or you don’t want your children to be disturbed, try to ask for rooms away from popular and busy areas such as the front desk and pool area.
• Kid friendly restaurants - Whether it’s an onsite restaurant or within walking distance, you will want a kid-friendly restaurant that is close, to avoid having to get kids in and out of the car, which can sometimes be a hassle within itself.
• A pool and/or other kid friendly amenities such as organized children’s activities.
• Free wireless internet - It’s a great and quiet way for you to be entertained while your children are asleep.
• Refrigerator - Perfect for storing drinks and refrigerated snacks.
• A Kitchen or kitchenette that can be used to cook meals and snacks - This is also a plus because your family will save money by not having to eat out at every meal.
• Walking distance to markets, restaurants, coffee shops, etc to pick up quick essentials.
Overall, whatever your budget, you should look for accommodations in a central location that is close to attractions and offers easily accessible transportation or is so close to attractions where no transportation is needed. Better yet look for free transportation to major attractions.

Make Vacationing with Children Enjoyable
Traveling with small children? Enjoy these 10 helpful tips to make your vacation as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.
1. When deciding what toys to take on your trip, consider a travel-sized MagnaDoodle. The pen is attached by a string so you won’t have to worry about losing any pieces and you’ll never run out of drawing paper! Write words, draw pictures, and play games!
2. Think about purchasing Goodnites. They protect kids from accidents, which tend to occur more when traveling or sleeping in different locations.
3. If traveling with very curious and active children, take along a package of outlet covers. Most hotels don’t think to provide these and they could save you from a major problem. Also think about bringing stove/oven knob covers or simply removing the knob covers when not cooking.
4. Be sure to pack a change of clothes for yourself. Children are often very clumsy and you won’t want to be wearing around that sticky, wet, or dirty clothing all day.
5. If you are traveling with small children, especially ones that tend to wander, here’s a tip that may calm some of your worry. Before you leave for your trip, visit a local hospital and ask if they will make a plastic bracelet for each of your children. Most hospitals will do this for you and then you can put whatever information you would like on a slip of paper and insert it into the bracelet.
6. Always keep a recent photo of your child with you. You never know if your children will wander off and this will help you in locating them.
7. To make your trip a little easier pack an entire day’s worth of clothing, a change of clothes, sufficient diapers, and food in a Ziploc bag for each day of travel. Then each day you can just throw a new Ziploc bag in your diaper bag and you’re ready to go.
8. Buy hand sanitizer or baby wipes before you leave for your trip. It works perfect for cleaning dirty, sticky hands when you can’t get to a restroom.
9. Buy an inexpensive camera for children that are old enough to use one. This way your children can photograph their trip from their perspective.
10. Be sure to pack snacks to keep your children satisfied during meals and prepackage them or buy small, individual packages which will make it easy to pack and serve. Also be sure that the snacks are easy to eat and won’t cause a big mess. Don’t forget to bring easy to drink beverages like juice boxes as well.
