The Adventures of Pam & Frank

Where should we go? What should we do?

We live in So Lame Salem and there's nothing to do in town.

Actually, that's what the 13 year old tells me.

If you're from Salem, please comment with a list of inexpensive things a family with a 13 year old would be interested in doing. She's a tomboy who likes punk rock, dogs, and artsy fartsy stuff. DO NOT mention the Carousel or Wunderland. Those have been done to death.

My sister Sharon once referred to a family outing as "Super Family Fun Day!!" I first heard this when the kids (hers and mine) were grumbling about whatever kids tend to grumble about when the family's trying to have some fun.

We don't go have enough fun, and really need to find cheap or free things to do for a Super Family Fun Day. On a couple Sundays each month, when all the chores are done, we pile in the car and hit the road with a goal to go play.

Even if you're not from Salem, got any cheap or free ideas for a Super Family Fun Day with a teenager?
Digg!
