After this weekend’s blizzard in Maryland, there was absolutely no reason to think about going up to a ski resort to catch some powder. We got tons of it – 30 inches in my area to be exact. This is the time where you say to yourself, who needs to pack up the car when you can just walk outside and create your own family fun….for FREE. That’s my favorite four letter word!

Sometimes we believe the more we travel or the further we travel, the cooler we are. The funny thing about that is, kids don’t care. You can create the same experience you travel and paid for, right in your immediate environment. All it takes is fun and imagination. That’s all they really want – is to have fun with their parents and use their imagination. Who needs a car, train or plane for that?
