[quote=Anonymous]We are thinking about taking a family trip to Europe this fall or next summer (2026). The kids would be 6-13. Our choices (due to wanting to use airline miles and living in a small town in the midwest with few connections) are London, Rome, Dublin, or Frankfurt. Any suggestions for best destination of the four and best time of year? We are very much "on the go" / "up and at 'em" rather than sit and linger for a meal and people watching. Our dream locations are Iceland or Denmark but those are too out of the way for now. We enjoy museums in small doses (or longer for more hands-on type museums). My youngest has a motor disability that makes it hard for him to hike or walk long distances but he can keep up for the most part and also knows how to ride a bike well, so we can do bike tours. The kids are easy going about food.

Alternatively - would it make more sense to wait until everyone is double digits in age? We have not yet seen all the domestic destinations we want to visit. (We have done a lot of national park oriented road trips in CO, UT, AZ, SD, southern CA, with some city overnights/theme park days mixed in, plus some FL beach trips. I am from NYC originally so we have gone there a few times, but we still want to do a New England trip, a DC/VA trip, a Pacific Northwest trip, etc.) I would like to go somewhere further afield and different, but that might be more for me than for them. DH and I used to go to international places for his work every couple years, but now my youngest has some care needs that are too much for my mom to manage for long periods of time.
