menu organization

Our existing website has a pretty clear menu structure:

Home
Tours
Animals
Education
...

Tours has a sub-menu of the different tours we offer, plus tour relevant items like Directions, Area Attractions, etc. So in the new site, if the viewer clicks on the Tours option in the menu (rather than clicking on one of the sub-menu items), I would like a page that lists the sub-menu links with a summary.

To do this, I created a view for a tour page that lists the node title and summary, and then used Views PHP module to sort the view by menu weight.
