Family Vacation!?

Question

I am planning a family vacation. My children are 7 and 11. We want to go to the beach. We live in Louisiana and we would like to go somewheres in Mississippi or Alabama. I would like to stay where there is a very nice pool the kids can enjoy to. Any ideas?

Answer 1

TRIPS THAT I HAVE TAKEN WITH MY FAMILY (I assume you want to stay within the US)

Anchorage-Lots of fun, but a long ways away from where you are

Los Angeles-My 14 year old daughter really liked Hollywood

Palm Springs-It's dry, but it's a fun place to relax

San Francisco-My 14 year old who watches Full House nonstop loved it

Russian River-I think my wife liked it more than anyone else in my family

Sonoma-See Russian River note

Washington, D.C.-I grew up near there and my kids thought it was fun to see the capital of the U.S.

Miami-Wasn't sure about this one with the kids, but they loved it If you go to Miami, make sure to take your kids to the Monkey Jungle

Atlanta-My 9 year old son liked the World of Coca Cola

Chicago-It was fun. We have relatives there, so we wouldn't have gone there if it wasn't for that

New Orleans-My grandmother is from there. We stayed in the French Quarter. Very nice!

Ogunquit-Too small of a town for me. Friends up there.

Baltimore-Grew up near there, and my 14 year old loves "Hairspray"

Northampton-Probably my least favorite vacation

Provincetown-2nd least favorite

St. Paul-3rd least favorite

Las Vegas-It's actually a great place to take your kids

Atlantic City-My 18 year old loves the show "Ragtime" and there's a song about Atlantic City in that, so

Santa Fe-Why waste your time there when you can go to Mexico

New York-We've gone up there a lot. My 14 year old, 18 year old and me are all big Broadway fans. We see a lot of shows up there. Just went to see "Spring Awakening", "Curtains", "Mary Poppins", "Jersey Boys", "Spamalot", "Avenue Q", and "Wicked".

Portland-We didn't stay in the good side of town, so I didn't really enjoy it

Philadelphia-Family up there, but I like seeing the history

Austin-Went in the summer. Really hot. Unenjoyable

Park City-Regrets going to Utah without seeing Salt Lake City.

Charlottesville-Friends there. Not much to see.

Seattle-My wife loves it, but I don't care for the weather.
