[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kids were young the only true vacations we took were all inclusive places with kids clubs.

Club Med Ixtapa, Beaches T&C, Disney Cruise, a couple places around Cancun.  They're teens now and [b]we go on more sightseeing trips[/b] now but they still prefer an all inclusive resort on a beach. [/quote]

But see I look at sightseeing as a vacation.[/quote]

Yes, so do I but not with young kids.  Planning a day of monuments, museums, architectural walks, full days of hiking, and trying the hidden foodie hotspots around their eating, pooping, napping, and witching hour schedules is not my kind of sightseeing.  I do solo trips/girls trips/or couple's trips for that when they're little.

The vacation should be enjoyable for all. An all inclusive where they can feel all grown up ordering their own Shirley Temple and the fun activities in the kids club is enjoyable to them. I was content enough to lay in a hammock by the beach and read a book.  Those days fly by and then they're big kids!

Now we have adventure trips and sightseeing trips that we all enjoy, but they still have fond memories of vacations at the places with kids clubs.

Interesting how people are different.  We have loved sightseeing with kids and ours have definitely enjoyed those vacations.  We started those around age 3.5 so out of the napping phase.

I actually think it was easier doing sightseeing trips with younger kids who have boundless energy than it is with moody teens who need more sleep and adjust less easily to time changes.
