I knew we were going to have to find things to do with the french student, and that's okay. But I just read a summary of some things that families did. It's not so much we did stuff on Monday and then on Wednesday we did two things and then on Friday we did something. It's more like We did stuff on Monday morning nd then just before lunch we went swimming in their pool and then right after lunch we went out on their boat and we spent time on their JetSkis and then we went riding on their ATVs and then we went to New York and tramped all around it and then on Tuesday ....
OMG. We're not hyperactive people. We don't have a bunch of toys. We don't live in an exciting area. We don't have a lot of money to get to an exciting area, or to use a bunch of toys. How boring are we? I had to think for about 10 minutes to come up with 8 things to do. What is there to do in DC, anyway? Or Philly? Or...
I know, just being here will be pretty neat, and this isn't intended to be a Nonstop Fun Fest, but still: this kid might be seriously disappointed.

Do you have nearby museums, fair grounds, sculpture gardens. These are usually not too expensive. Also if there are fun outdoor hikes or national geographic sites that can be interesting. A day at the local mall if it is large enough is very attractive to teenagers who love to shop.
We have the Pennsylvania State Museum, which tries very hard. Ahem. No fair grounds. No sculpture gardens. I think there's a butterfly house in Hershey.
We are definitely going to two malls -- one in Valley Forge, on the way to or from Philly, and one in the DC area -- not sure which. Probably not Tyson's Corners, as I hear the driving in that area is pretty rocky of late.
