[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids (ages 5 and 3) talk about our vacations all the time, even months or a year later. They are also in preschool and aftercare all day and camp in the summer. Unfortunately, we haven't found winter camp or spring break options for their ages, so we usually take a vacation in the winter for a week and another week in the summer where we have gaps in camps. We try to time them around days we have off work (like Juneteenth and Christmas/New Years) to minimize the vacation days we have to work.

As some others have mentioned, long weekend trips are a great opportunity to take a "vacation." Assuming you get these days off, try going on a short trip over MLK weekend, President's Day weekend, Columbus/Indigenous People's Day. Good day trips in this area include: Baltimore (aquarium), Annapolis, Richmond (great Children's Museum), Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Williamsburg. Plenty of beaches in Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware if/when you decide to do a beach trip (we haven't done the beach yet either). I've also heard good things about Leesylvania State Park, which has a beach.[/quote]
Adding that you can also make a day of it in DC and hit some of the museums. My kids [i]love[/i] our DC days, though they don't think of them as a "vacation" and don't talk about them the same way after.[/quote]
