Helpful guide for planning trips for kids or adults

This "ultimate guide for traveling in the Pacific Northwest with kids" covers Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Each state/province is subdivided into metropolitan areas and geographical regions. Then each area or town has listings for places to stay, places to eat and things to see and do. While this volume is *not* exhaustive in terms of EVERYTHING you could see or do, it certainly covers the highlights of things you would enjoy seeing and doing with your children. We recently planned a trip to Oregon with a teenager using this guide as one of many resources. We were not disappointed, and as a matter of fact, we weren't able to cover everything suggested in this book in the time we had available. I would suggest that these guides for going places with children work just as well for adults who want to glean the highlights of locations they'll be visiting in the Pacific Northwest. Since we were traveling with a tent trailer, we did not make use of the "places to stay" feature, however in glancing through them, some seem to be a bit on the pricey side. Also, we discovered a great hamburger restaurant in Bend, Oregon (called "Pilot Butte") that was not listed in this guide. So, like I said, "Going Places" is not exhaustive, but it certainly is helpful.
