I am driving from St. Louis, MO to Watseka, IL. I am going to stop halfway there in Springfield, IL for lunch and to let my daughter get out of the car and have some fun. Any suggestions on where to take her? She is 13 months old, walking, and very active. I would like a place where she can see other kids her age and get some exercise. Something like a children's museum or even just a nice playground near a good restaurant. Please help!

I would check out this site for more, we use it to plan our trips from STL to Springfield. There is no science center or "Magic" House type place. The little princess place is a lot of fun, we have taken girls of all ages there! When in doubt find a playground and let her run! Have a great trip!

What are good mountain bike trails that are family friendly?
harkins
Or maybe nice scenic beach paths that are nice in so cal?
Answer
Since I have no idea where you're asking from, I'll just give you the best trails in the world:
Japan: Ura Bandai District, cycling around the lakes is fantastic.
Germany: The trails around the Black Forest, and sometimes the city routes of Hannover are nice.
Austria: the woodlands around Salzburg are beautiful.
USA: I've biked in Yosemite, Grand Canyon and a little in the Quays down south... sweet!
U.K: The Lake District looks awesome in the summer and East Anglia has some nice variation for kids and adults too.
France: Go to the Auvergne. Believe me, you won't regret the journey there.
China: If you've got the guts for it, take a trip along the Yangtze.
Australia: never been there myself, but a good friend said the northern territories are worth a look in.
India: Might not be mountain bike terrain, but the sights are worth a cycle ride in Amritsar.
Hope that helped
