And to respond to the OP, we are going to the Bahamas - spending some time on an out island and then a few days in Atlantis.


I don’t think it’s too old for tween / teens. I think it is just also good for ES kids which is rarer.

I think it’s better for older kids. With teens you can do some of the better hikes. My whole family (0-75+) goes every few years. We all love it. The teens & young adults do the most exciting parts IMO.



And kayaking, etc.

Nowhere. Baby is due September 3rd, so we are pretty much grounded. We might try to get grandparents to watch the two older ones and take a baby moon to somewhere close by.

This is similar to our trip a couple of years ago. DS was 12. We All Loved Oregon. Definitely do mountain biking in Bend. Go to Crater Lake National Park, too. DS keeps saying, "Let's go back to Bend."
