CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, Thursday, October 22, 2009
A Day’s Outing, a free online search tool for short-distance day trips and weekend outings, knows that families want to get out and enjoy the beauty and bounty of the fall season’s arrival. With so many families embracing multi-generational travel, A Day’s Outing makes it easy to find the perfect day trip that every member of the family, regardless of age, will enjoy.

Day Trips That Appeal to Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and the Kids
Whether starting from home or enjoying an outing during a vacation, grandparents, parents and children can have a great time together if they choose the right day trip. From harvest festivals to corn mazes to tours of historic towns or nature walks, everyone can enjoy the colorful fall foliage. With thousands of outings, A Day’s Outing helps families of all ages enjoy a wonderful day trip or weekend getaway this fall.

Planning Tips for Multi-Generational Day Trips:
**  Let everyone help decide upon the outing.  This keeps the whole family involved and interested.

**  Figure out a budget for your day trip.  If the whole family is going, it could be expensive. It might be best to find free or low cost outing like a local harvest festival or a stroll through a state park.

**  Prepare for different energy levels. Balance more rigorous activities with some low-key activities throughout the day.

**  Give the children cameras – the disposable ones are great. This way you will have photos of everyone on the trip, from all sorts of angles.

**  Tell stories while you are all together. Sharing memories of your family history helps bring the places you visit to life.

“Having two young children and their grandparents living close by, we enjoy many day trips and longer vacations together,” said Elizabeth Muse, CEO of A Day’s Outing.  “There are museums, historic sites and fun events that we can all enjoy, even when our family’s ages range from 8 to 71.”

With so many fall activities around, A Day’s Outing helps families plan the perfect short-distance trip by revealing the undiscovered special events and unique destinations that surround them.
