Watch It Made in the U.S.A.!:
First, who didn’t like going on a field trip when you were in school? Second, why having parents thought of this before? Now search for the book by the same title written by Karen Axelrod & Bruce Brumberg. It will give you a list of almost 400 pages of manufactures that offer either free or low cost factory tours that are family friendly. What a great way to keep the kids (of all ages) from getting bored on your Road Trip! Hey, if you liked visiting Hershey Park when visiting in Pennsylvania, then who’s to say the kids and you wouldn’t enjoy watching crayons being made in nearby Easton at the Binney & Smith plant or watch how a Harley Davidson Motorcycle is built in close by Troy? The book is better if you can find it.
