Fantasy Fans: Dress Like A Fairy

To encourage my daughter Katie's penchant for playing make-believe, a lot of our family trips have been to, well, dramatic destinations. For instance, every June we pack her wings and drive two hours for a fairy fix at the Enchanted Summer Day festival at the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, near Wilmington, Delaware. She loves the facepainting, maypole dancing, and crafts. No matter what your kid is into -- comics, cars, castles, you name it -- travel experts say there are a growing number of trips to fuel her fantasies. Ready to pack your bags? For every popular passion, we have just the place to go.
