When I was a kid, we spent several summers in the UK while my father was teaching a study abroad program there. We were based in Oxford but took many day trips to London, Bath, Cotswolds, etc. I went back there as an adult for the summer before grad school, and it was just as awesome.

I'd summer in the summer house somewhere in New England and then travel to other places in early to mid September when the tourists go home.

How old are the kids? If they are at least 7 or 8, I would do a safari and then maybe a beach week somewhere truly beautiful that is sort of nearby , like the Seychelles.

I'd rent a fabulous house on the water in Maine and stay there for the whole month. Depends on age of kids, though. Mine are little, so I wouldn't want the hassle or moving from place to place. But Maine in August is gorgeous.

Cotswolds, hike the Cotswold way, spend time in Bath and Cornwall. Hike part of the South West coast path, visit the lost gardens of Heligan, then head to Scotland for a week or ten days.

I wouldn't do Asia with kids. Flight is just too long. Caribbean? Maybe culebra, Puerto Rico. We stayed at an affordable place right on the beach called villa flamenco. It had a kitchenette and it would be lovely to chill there for a month.

I'd rent a place right on the beach and park myself there.

I said I was looking for ideas. DH earns a 7 figure income so we can afford to spend more.
