Another 'where to go' post... with these restrictions

Looking for a week-long vacation for next summer with tweens. The must-haves:

*Lots of 'action' for the kids
*Some down time for dad
*Not too far (no Fiji)
*If outside the US, looking for a specific organized tour like Backroads

We've already done Costa Rica, Iceland, Yellowstone, Maine and Yosemite.

I know you already went to the general area, but what about Glacier National Park?
Also might recommend something like the Florida Keys, but it would be brutally hot.

Good idea. Very accessible as well- airport with good number of flights within 30 minutes.

We were looking for something similar and settled on Beaches Turks and Caicos. We don’t normally do AI but seems to fit the bill for both activity and parents having a chance to relax.

Really most of the national parks. We did Acadia and got a house in Trenton on the water (with kayaks). Spent time between kayaking and exploring the park (then restaurants/site seeing in bar harbor).

Glacier is gorgeous or Banff/Jasper or any of the parks in Washington or Oregon?

Pacific Northwest. Do Seattle for 2 days and then find a rental on one of the islands in Puget Sound. Do water activities, hiking, swimming exploring for a bit. It's such a gorgeous place.

If you need a more active trip, do Seattle and then do Olympic NP or Vancouver.

Check out Tauck tours. An alternative might be a cruise which caters to that demographic, i.e., not a 6-star luxury line, but a mega-ship with extensive kid-friendly activities.
