At some point or another, parents get the urge to load up the family truckster and go see America a la the Griswolds. I’d say most parents dream about getting to take their kids someplace spectacular at least once in their life. Our two dream family trips are driving out to Colorado to explore Rocky Mountain National Park, and heading to DC, when our kids are old enough to actually enjoy traveling but still young enough they’ll be seen in public with us.
Travel + Leisure’s September issue features “10 Places to See Before You’re 10”— a list of must-see family destinations. From the obvious – (Colonial Willamsburg, Disneyworld) – to the less so (Baltimore’s American Visionary Art Museum, LA’s Griffith Observatory), these are places the editors suggest are great places for families and things kids would really enjoy.
I visited a couple of these places before I was 10 – Niagara Falls and Disneyworld – and I have to say they are still stuck in my memory to this day. What are your dream trips with your kids? What do you think of the list? And have you braved a major family vacation yet?
