Family Weekend Getaway
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
When you are planning a family weekend getaway there are several factors to consider. The cost (everybody enjoys finding a special and right now there are many deals and family vacation packages to choose from), and activities: what does everyone like to do?
Some families love spending their weekend getaway by the pool, while others will prefer to go on tours and explore the area.
Accommodations are very important. Do you want to be able to prepare some of your meals or will you eat out while you are on vacation?
In California, San Diego is a popular weekend getaway, offering the famous zoo and proximity to many fun kid-frindly activities. Stay at Hotel del Coronado which has a sandy beach, kid's programs and many family-friendly activities, ranging from Bocce Ball to Ping Pong.
In Florida, many full-service resorts like Doral, the Breakers, and the Turnberry Isle Resort offer beautiful pools, water-based activities, golf and spas. You'll be able to combine a family weekend getaway with relaxing at the spa and a round or two of golf.
On the East Coast, head to the Sagamore on Lake George where weekend activities include fishing, swimming in the lake, sailing, golf and pampering at the spa.
If your family likes exploring a big city, head to New York City where hotels are offering some great deals on weekend stays. The Peninsula New York has a brand new spa. You can visit the Museum of Natural History, see a show at the Planetarium, and play in Central Park.
