[quote=Anonymous]OP I know what you are asking and my answer is yes, you should try to mix it up more.  I’m a city girl through and through!  I could never hike for an entire holiday.  I do not camp. For me that’s a kind of torture!

However, there are outdoor adventures I have had with my family incl 2 kids that I’ve loved and they include trips to national parks.  The key for us has been going to places with extremely beautiful scenery and where you can do more than just camp or hike.

Palm Springs was one of my favorite trips with the kids in Dec and we combined Joshua Tree not far. We also loved spending time at Rush Creek Lodge to see Yosemite, combined w SF trip.  We loved Jackson Hole as we stayed in a beautiful resort there and did white water rafting.  Costa Rica is very much an outdoor vacation destination but we loved we could jump off waterfalls, raft, do beaches and enjoy lovely meals. Hawaii, Iceland, AK are all locations very outdoor centric, but offering activities that aren’t what you find in a city.  It’s all about finding activities you like to do v. only hiking in the woods LOL Sedona and Santa Fe offer scenes that will take your breath away.

So you see, it’s entirely possible to enjoy an outdoor vacation not in a city if you load it up with activities and if it’s a really beautiful  - also west coast resorts are different than what I find here.  You get the benefit of exploring the national park with enjoyment of a resort.  There’s some amazing gems in Idaho, MT, WY and UT for those.

I will always be a city girl but I have to say that you should look at doing something outdoors esp if you’ve kids :)[/quote]
