Where is the coolest place you ever took a family vacation to?

[JOHNDEEREGN]

We hit Disneyworld last year so that will probably always be #1 but we have 10 days in late July this year to go somewhere.

I was thinking around Branson Mo and lease a condo and do a boat rental, silver dollar city etc.

Or maybe go to a six flags or something like that.

Give me your thoughts and idea's fellas.

TIA

Oh ya, the boys are age 9 and 6 and we are mid-late 30's if that helps

Toronto, Niagra Falls, and Thousand Islands (by boat), all in one week. There's a bunch to do in Toronto, but very $$$$.

In July I like to hit Silver Lake, Michigan. It is right on Lake Michigan. You have the Sand Dunes and can Rent a Jeep. Or even rent a Jeep for the woods tour. There is a theme park an hour away. Plenty of putt putt golfs and ice cream places to go. You can go an hour and a half north to Traverse City and pick cherries. Very nice family vacation.

Tobermory Ontario Canada , North America's Ship Wreck Capital on Georgian Bay . Took the wife and kids there , rented wet suits , snorkels and masks, flippers and spend the week diving on ship wrecks , underwater caves, shore diving . Kids had a blast !!!!!! and still talk about it, real cool . and there are a ton of other things to do and see in the area ( eg: Flower Pot Island , LightHouses , National Provincial Parks ).It's very beautiful country up there and I highly recommend it if your looking for a different type of vacation .

10 days in Equador. Visited the country with a friend whos family still lives there. They treated us like royalty. Weather was the same everyday. 71. Right on the equator. They don't even have a weather forecast during the news. The country was beautiful. You have the "haves" and "have-nots". Nothing in between.
Still can't beat the good old USA. So many things in our backyards. You have a lot more appreciation for the US after visiting another country.

Vacation?
What's that?

With the expenses of 4 kids, my vacation is sending them to my sister's house and staying home in the peace and quiet! LOL

Well you just missed taking the family to a good vacation to Bowling Green and watching a bunch of turbo Buicks And they also have one of the biggest roller coasters in the amusement park that is part of the raceway park. Saw the building of the roller coaster on the Discovery Channels "Building the Biggest" show. This year my wife had the choice of going to Norway with me for a week since I was going there for 2 weeks for work or going to Bowling Green...she picked Bowling Green The tour of the corvette Assembly plant is real cool and a learning experience for the kids.
