Family of 4. Two Teens Boys. Soph and Sr. Budget $6K. What's a Great Spring Break Trip?

Both of these are great options. We’ve done both with kids. Heading back to PR this winter.

I agree that Moab and the Southern Utah National Parks are great that time of year. We also did a road trip one spring break from Memphis to New Orleans stopping in the Mississippi Delta, the Louisiana bayou and Vicksburg. We saw some historical sites (civil rights sites & Vicksburg battlefield), heard great music in the Delta & New Orleans and ate some excellent food. It ended up being one of our most memorable trips.

Reading comprehension is fundamental.

I think you first have to do the google flights explore feature to see where you can fly in your price range / dates.

If you are priced out of flying & have to drive, then FL depending on your stamina for driving.

I think ti is going to be tough with flights, so I might find somewhere you can drive. WE are doing the smokey mountains and new river gorge. There are a lot of adventure things the kids can do (zip lining, rafting if they are old enough, hiking, off road jeep tours). Then there is all the touristy stuff in Pigeon Forge

I had had a similar thought that you will get to spend more on hotels and activities and meals if you do not fly. What is your tolerance for driving? If it's low, I'd look at Eastern Shore of Maryland, West Virginia. If it's higher, I'd look at going down Shenandoah, Asheville, Smokeys, Nashville, or maybe even Outer Banks.

Yep, flights are soooooo expensive this year. $600+ to anywhere in the southwest or west coast. Half that to Florida, which is what I’d target if I were the OP.

out west and the parks are so nice that time of year.

Not super warm but Chicago is a great city with teen boys, especially if they like baseball

Whatever you are smoking, it's not good.

You are out of your mind. Why would anyone go to India over max 10 days - you realize the jet lag not to mention $$ and time it takes to travel there? I did this with 4 wks in my 20s and still hated India.

WTAF would you suggest India??!!!?

I would agree w CR. A ton to do there for these ages as I'm in same situation.

I'd consider London. I wouldn't go but I know a lot of people love it there.

We had fun S Beach last yr and CR before the other yr. NYC and Chicago are both good as it's off season if March. Another place we really enjoy that's not $$ is Palm Springs CA but only March otherwise it's too hot. Mid/late April would be Sedona but I would target Apr over March.
