[quote=Anonymous]Do you have kids? See if the locale has things similar to Certifikid or DC Kids or a less snarky version of DCUM.  That will help you get ideas of things you'd otherwise be searching for like the best nearby festivals or pumpkin patches or outdoor movie nights. 
Depending on where you've lived before and where you are for that year, what is uniquely different that you should maximize experience? PPs had good ideas with travel guides, so start to make your own bucket list of big things plus local things.

Are you fairly introverted or do you want to make friends? Don't waste time, find the local FB group for your college alumni association, hobby, school PTA and your preferred house of worship.  Reach out and introduce yourself as a family moving to the area and hoping to meet people and get tips on fun stuff, places to go, etc.

In addition to the place you're living, what is interesting in a 3-5hr drive that you should plan at least a weekend since otherwise you might never visit? Random example, I would never choose to make a vacation out of traveling to Graceland or Dollywood, but if I had to live in Nashville for a year I'd definitely take time to go visit each for a weekend since each is only a few hours' drive.[/quote]
