2 weeks on the DE coast, like every summer. Our bigger trips are in the winter, when we want to escape the DC weather.

You could fly to any of the places mentioned and camp the whole time, and get by financially.

How do you fly somewhere and camp? What about the gear?

H and I flew out to San Fran one year, rented a compact car and drove to Yosemite, Sequoia NP, Kings Canyon, and Joshua Tree, and flew out of LA. We brought our tent and sleeping bags (they fold up really small), plus a bunch of REI freeze dried camping food pouches that you simply add hot water to make dinner. It was wonderful, and pretty cheap. Car camping is fairly easy and you don't have to bring as much stuff, as you can buy groceries along the way. Our favorite park was the Sequoia.

Awesome! We have visited mainland Tanzania (relatives in Dar), and Stonetown is magical. Hope to take our kid when old enough--currently a few years younger than yours. Enjoy!

Pack everything in backpacks and check them. It's not glamorous or even glamping, but it can be done.

NYC for a week - my son's choice.

We're going to Mammoth Cave, Kentucky followed by Pigeon Forge! I'm very excited.

Around $20K for a family of 6. That doesn’t include flights or shore excursions. Probably $30k total

what's the per person cost on this one?

DP: you can price it out online. Cruise plus flights plus hotel pre and post cruise plus excursions in each port city. I bet it's easily $12-15k for a family of 4.

You shouldn't. Most people are only choosing to post if they feel their summer plans are especially awesome. Many of us are going to the usually places nearby (OBX, Rehoboth, etc.) so are not posting.

We are only taking a one-week vacation this summer--it sounds fancy, but it's courtesy of our ILs. We'll be here working the rest of the summer, and kid has some fun summer camps lined up.

I posted my DE beach vacation

The Cordillera Huayhuash Trek in Peru. Wake up under the Siula Grande on my 50th.

One week in Maui, one week in Oahu at the beginning of summer. One Disney cruise at the end of summer.
