'Around the World' Getaway is Minutes Away

Dreaming is free at Barnes & Noble.

For this week's "Mom's Getaway,"  I'm going to suggest one of my favorites -- our very own local Barnes & Noble. 

Order your fave Starbucks drink,  grab a table alongside the travel book section and settle in for a little mental get-away.  Now's a great time to browse the travel books and think about plans for a summer vacation. 

Should you take a family road trip to the great national parks out west,  or maybe a shoreside vacation is in order this year?  You can explore all the possibilities just by paging through some good travel guides.

I sometimes bring a small notebook and even jot down a few notes.  Once I've actually decided on a destination,  I will actually buy a couple of the best books for that destination. 

Until then,  the browsing  and the dreaming are free!
