Do you like city oriented vacations? Then look at Toronto with a nite in Niagara Falls. Or since you are both near major airports, you can fly anywhere really. Go to Charleston and spend a some days at Hilton Head, Disney or a Florida beach.

Sky top in poconos is great for 4-5 days. Old fashioned all inclusive hotel with nature hikes, swimming, fishing, biking, etc.

Most destinations in upstate NY and New England are pretty laid back. What kind of activities does your family like to do? Do you want to visit one place and stay there, or are you open to exploring?

I’ve literally loved every New England trip we’ve taken.


DP here. These types of posts are totally unhelpful to people not at all familiar with the area. Could be more specific at all? This is like someone asking about a resort in the Caribbean and a person answering “I love all Caribbean resorts!”

With ORD and DC you could fly pretty much anywhere in NY state and New England.
Where do you want to stay?
Out in nature in a rental house? At a hotel? In a town? A resort?

I'd do upstate New York or Woodloch Resort in the Poconos (if they have rooms still). Sky top Lodge would be good for those ages, but a whole week might be too long.

Lewes is terrible with jellyfish in August.

One of the nice lake towns north and west of Chicago? Like Lake Geneva or Green Lake.

We're looking for an easy August vacation to take with our two kids (ages 7 and 5) and my in laws the week before school starts. Obviously, lots of things in the usual places are booked already.

Any ideas for an intergenerational vacation spot? Convenient to Northern Virginia and Chicago (flights are fine).

We were considering the Poconos or Lewes or upstate NY.
