Vacation ideas in America
Today I have some news articles on different US family vacations. If none of these interest you, exploring this blog will reveal hundreds more US family vacation ideas...
We'll start with these family vacation ideas including San Antonio, Texas; Williamsburg, Virginia; the Florida Keys; and Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Williamsburg is famous for its history, not entirely unlike Gettysburg.
Seaking of Florida (OK it's a rickety transition if I can borrow two words from Frank Zappa but the previous article did talk about the Florida Keys), Florida's popularity as a vacation spot is coming back. Interestingly they talk about Miami and Fort Lauderdale but not Disney World.
We have another article with a few different ideas including momcations, dolphins, and walking tours. Maybe it's just me, but is it a little sexist that they have mancations and momcations? Why not womancations instead of momcations? Men are defined by gender but women are defined by their role in the family? Seems a bit old-fashioned to me.
In a feel-good story (well it's a sad story really) here's one on a summer camp charity for children of deceased US soldiers. No doubt those kids deserve something special.
Here's the story of a family vacation to Hawaii, a destination the author figured would have something for everone in the family plus the oder son's girlfriend. Their plan involves kayaking and the USS Arizona. There's so much to do in Hawaii it's hard to plan a trip.
By the way, and here's where the US vacation ideas end, for you celebrity gossip lovers, Tony Parker and Eva Longoria really are getting married in France as reported here a few weeks ago. The ceremony will take place in Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte, a 17th-century castle. The honeymoon will be in Paris.
