18 Fall Family Vacation Ideas

The Pocono Mountains remain one of the best places for a family-friendly escape, particularly in the fall when the trees burst with hues of red, orange and yellow. Go for a hike at Bushkill Falls, get out on one of the region's many lakes, or take in the views from the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway in Jim Thorpe. Horseback riding, whitewater rafting, adventure parks (think: zip lining and rock climbing) and family fun centers (with go-karts, mini-golf and the like) also make for a fun day in the Poconos.

Every novel is, in one way or another, about the passage of time, but Sammy Harkham’s comic-book epic “Blood of the Virgin” is more so than most. The book, the story of Seymour, an ambitious would-be filmmaker and a second-rate husband, explores different temporalities, creating a polyphony of the sweeping, legato past and the rhythmic present. There is also the tedium of family life and the structured frustration of making art. And, always, there is the choice to spend all-too-limited moments on one but not the other.Harkham is adept at establishing the graphic equivalent of a musical time signature for each passage in his book.
