[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always see those lists of "100 places to take your kids before they grow up" and it feels too overwhelming.  I'm not going to take 100 vacations in the 14 or so years that I have to travel with them!  So I've been trying to come up with a Top 10 list instead, with a goal of giving kids exposure to the diversity of America.  Interested in your thoughts (and this is not in any particular order):

1.  Washington, DC
2.  New York City
3.  Another American city of cultural/historical note, such as San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New Orleans or L.A.
4.  Hawaii or U.S. Virgin Islands
5.  Disneyworld or Disneyland
6.  American southwest, such as Tucson, San Antonio, Taos, etc.
7.  National Park with major mountains, such as Tetons, Yosemite, Rocky Mountain, Glacier, Denali
8.  Grand Canyon and/or Zion
9.  A classic beach area, such as Cape Cod, Outer Banks, Assoteague, etc.
10.  Go back and hit another city from (3), from a different region of the country.

What do you think?  I realize I'm a little light on the Midwest and South.[/quote]

It's a great list, op!

My two cents (if you have to prioritize or eliminate some):

1. Disneyworld is far better than Disneyland.

2. The San Diego area is more fun for school-aged kids than SF or LA. LA would be more fun for tweens/teens.

3. We love Puerto Rico. I think it's worth adding to your list.

4. We love the Caribbean. A Disney cruise is magical with kids---even if your family doesn't particularly like Disney.

5. Head across the border into Canada. Montreal and Old Quebec are fabulous! Your kids will feel like it's a big trip since they speak French there and QC has a European feel.

6. Hershey and Lancaster are a fun short trip. So is Williamsburg/Busch Gardens.

7. Charleston/Kiawah would be a great two-fer (better than OBX IMHO). [/quote]
