August Trip Ideas

[Anonymous]

Bermuda. Assuming you're in the DMV, it's an easy flight (little over an hour) and the most beautiful beaches and landscape. It's not cheap, but there are decently priced hotels. Note that tourists cant't rent cars--instead you rent mopeds or tiny rechargable cars that fit 2 people. There are also very nice taxi drivers and an efficient bus service that drops off at most beaches.

Easy trips we've done all with our kids before age 14. I'm a big fan of easy esp if you only have a wk. we are not exactly outdoorsy either but good with beauty. Of the above Chicago would be easiest. Boston and NYC aren't bad as everyone will be out of Manhattan in Aug that's low season and high season in the other places.

I would not do Europe in 6 days.

Santa Fe in August?

It’s at 7,000 feet of elevation. Beautiful in August.

This sounds attainable for the average DCUM. Why do you even bother to post? Is it your narcissism?

What, your family didn't inherit an Austrian cabin?

Nobody I know has never had the best time esp with kids in Aug in Chicago. I say this as someone who will always consider Chicago home but also very well travelled.

We had a great 4 days in Chicago last summer. Could pair it with 3-4 days at one of the Wisconsin or Illinois interior lake towns within a 1-2 hour drive, kids that age will love a few days of swimming and ice cream. Mix of city and lake time is a nice balance.
