A Mix of Destinations Promises Family-Friendly Fun and Value
Guest post by Alexandra Jacobs
Vacations give people an opportunity to explore the world. That is especially true when families are traveling with children. Fortunately, there are destinations that provide plenty of fun for everyone!
San Diego
Full of sunshine and fun days, San Diego is the ideal destination for lounging on the beach. Stay at the Paradise Point Resort & Spa to get away from it all. It is a great family-friendly luxury hotel. On a private island, this hotel is still close to Sea World and all major attractions. Bungalow-style suites ensure privacy in Balinese inspired surroundings. Kids will love the Barefoot Bar & Grill with its selection of American foods. Off site, find Hodad’s, an unpretentious burger joint with mouth-watering offerings. Families won’t want to miss Sea World and the famous San Diego Zoo.
New York City
New York is a magical place for kids to visit, especially when they get to stay at the Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square. This hotel boasts a floor of suites designed for kids. Spacious rooms with kitchenettes make travel easy. New York City real estate doesn’t get any better than this location down the street from the Toys ‘R’ Us superstore. Little girls won’t be able to resist a trip to American Girl Place and everyone will love the American Museum of Natural History. Have a bite at La Bonne Soupe. This notable bistro serves French dishes that even picky kids will love. For kids who love peanut butter, visit Peanut Butter & Co for specialty menu items that feature everyone’s favorite treat. It’s economical and fun.
Cabo San Lucas
Cabo guarantees fun, especially while staying at Dreams Los Cabos. The Explorer’s Club will keep little ones endlessly entertained with activities. Rooms are gracious and the El Patio international buffet restaurant ensures that everyone finds a dish they like. Check out Solomon’s Landing for a fine mix of Mexican and seafood fare. Cabo is the place to enjoy the water with snorkeling or kayaking, or choose to relax on the shore.
Vancouver, B.C.
This cosmopolitan city features eclectic attractions and dining. Stay at the Pan Pacific for gorgeous views and beautiful rooms big enough to accommodate families. This smoke-free hotel is pet friendly, so everyone can stay. Find comfort food at White Spot restaurants throughout the city or try some Greek at the popular Athene’s. Visit the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park and the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
Austin
The Texas capital is grand and welcoming. A stay at the Four Seasons Austin is sensible and luxurious. Just let them know kids are in the party and they roll out the welcome wagon with cookies and milk and other nice touches. Toys and games are in the room and car seats and other amenities are available. Threadgill’s is the place for chicken fried steak and fried okra. Patronize Shady Grove for great barbecue and live music. The Texas State History Museum and the zoo are prized destinations.
