On the heels of the bestselling Bucket List comes a new entry into the series focused on family-friendly trips, getaways, escapes, and adventures that go beyond the tried and true.

With options for exciting trips and anything but ordinary journeys, the vast choice of experiences showcased in this volume is curated to appeal to all types of families and people of all ages: from visiting a "hobbit roundhouse" in Cornwall, England or shopping the docks for lobster in Portland, Maine to birdspotting along the Panama Canal or partaking of hundreds of activities at the Florida State Fair.

Organized geographically, the book's entries feature a wide array of things to do spanning numerous interests and activity levels sure to appeal to all ages from kids to grandparents: go boating on New York State's Erie Canal; stroll the tulip fields outside Amsterdam; celebrate Mexico's Day of the Dead - the "original" Halloween; experience authentic Japanese living including a traditional tea ceremony in Kyoto; take your family to a cooking school in Tuscany; explore the Pacific Northwest by ferry; and much more.

This book appeals to everyone's inner daydreamer and armchair traveler, as well as anyone seeking an alternative to a generic vacation.
