Newport, Oregon
Newport is the perfect Destination for families that appreciate the great outdoors. Located on the rugged coast of Oregon, at Newport, your families can embark on a wide variety of great activities from Whale watching, to Kite flying, Hiking, Kayaking, fishing, and chilling at the local beaches. Oh, and did I mention their Lighthouses (as in more than one)!! I am such a big fan of lighthouses.
Newport is also the home to a world-class aquarium features local marine life, with underwater walkways and a seabird aviary! I love visiting aquariums because my kids always have a lot of fun while learning.
In addition to great Hotels, New POrt also has RV and camping sites for those families who are more outdoorsy and want to stay close to nature during your vacation. They really do a have a little bit of everything as far as accommodations are concerned.
San Diego, California
DId you know that San Diego hosts an annual month-long event called Kid's Free October? According to the San Diego Tourism's Website "During the month-long celebration, your little ones will be treated like royalty with free admission to attractions, meals on the house and tons of other great perks throughout the city." How cool is that?!? You can learn more about Kid's Free October here.
The first thing many people think of when thinking of when thinking of San Diego is the iconic San Diego Zoo. We took our kids for the first time back in May and it was Everything they said it would be! First of all it is absolutely Huge and packed with tons of amazing animals to see and interact with. (You can read more about our trip to the San Diego Zoo as well as tips for your visit here.)
Another fun attraction in San Diego that kids just LOVE is Sea World. Here your family will get to see some amazing Sea Life, thrilling shows all the while learning how Sea World works with great organizations to protect and care for our oceans and the beautiful animals that live in it.

Leavenworth, Washington
If your family loves simple pleasures and outdoor fun, then this destination is for you. Nestled between Spokane and Seattle Washington in the heart of the Cascades, Leavenworth is a beautiful and quaint Bavarian Town. We spent a whole day a few years ago just exploring all the fun little shops down their main street.
In addition to the fun shopping, arts theaters, eating establishments and yes a Spa (for the moms that need some pampering) found in Leavenworth, they also offer some amazing outdoor activities. Such as horseback riding, hiking, fishing, birding, climbing, rafting/kayaking, camping, zip lining wagon rides and more. Perfect for that active family that just wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You can learn more about what to do and where you can stay while visiting Leavenworth here.
