It’s a beautiful autumn morning and all you know is you want to get out of the city, but after a long workweek you have no idea what’s going on, or where. That scenario was too familiar for Muse, co-founder of A Day’s Outing. So she created www.adaysouting.com, a free Web site offering thousands of ideas for local outings tailored to location, time and type of event.

What inspired your site?
I was visiting my mother in Roanoke with my two children and she said, ‘Let’s take a day trip!’ It was a beautiful fall day in 2007. And I thought for sure I could find something, but I was amazed that I couldn’t find a site that would take my specifications and give me a selection of ideas. So I decided to create one.
