From your emails: Tara Miller writes, "Just came across your site and I LOVE it!  It's easy to navigate, the pages load quickly for ease of access while out with the iPhone, and the section about related books for kids is inspired. "

From Jean Gazis, "You have an excellent site - it is so clean and easy to read, without too much information. I'm planning a trip to Europe with my husband and 8 and 10-year old boys this summer and got lots of good ideas. Even having been to some of the places we'll visit before I wasn't sure what to do there with kids."
