Enjoying a full family reunion might only happen a couple of times a year these days, especially when your older kids are at college in a different state or have moved away altogether. Christmastime and Spring Break might be your only chance for a proper family get-away, so you want to make your quality time memorable. So, if your kids are returning to the nest soon, make sure you have some action-packed plans in place before they fly off again. 

National Parks

Discover some of the beautiful parks of your home country that you perhaps haven’t yet explored, like Yosemite or the Grand Canyon. Traveling to these places counts as a vacation in themselves, especially if you set up a camping spot and do it properly. Bring your swimming trunks, BBQ stove and sleeping bags, and camp out as a family under the stars… just make sure there’s no bears!

Fishing Trips

Fishing trips are an amazing way to make use of America’s beautiful coasts and rivers and their plentiful supply of delicious fish – take your catch home at the end of the day for the freshest supper of your life! Hire a boat fit for the whole family, get everyone on board and don’t forget your fishing equipment. ‘Fish finders’ are an amazing new piece of technology that uses GPS to track down the fish in your vicinity… kind of like cheating but prevents disappointment!

Hit the Beach

Spring Break means grabbing your shades and sunscreen and taking a trip to the seaside! It’s the perfect chance for a sunny break with your loved ones, having adventures and making memories you’ll never forget. Play a game of kids vs adults volleyball on the sand and take a refreshing dip in the ocean afterwards – what could be better?

Go to a Game

Baseball spring training kicks off in March, with the Grapefruit League running in small stadiums throughout Florida and Cactus League in Arizona. For those who love sport in your household, a trip to a stadium will be a fun-filled family day out! If you can’t make it to Arizona or Florida, plenty of minor league baseball events are hosted all over the USA. Locate your nearest stadium and check out days you can head down to watch a game, cheer on your local team and grab a hotdog!

Ski Vacation

If you’ve had your lot of sunny Spring Breaks, head to the hills of Colorado instead to join in with ski season. The town of Breckenridge hosts ski and snowboard school, spring festivals, and many more slope activities for every generation in your family! Book to stay in a lodge there and enjoy all the shops and restaurants in the area too. Get your snowshoes and the best ski glove liners on and whisk your nearest and dearest away for some springtime skiing!

Theme Parks

Organize a group trip to a theme park, near or far. Most of them have on-site accommodation for long vacations based around the park! Universal Orlando, Epcot, Disneyland California, Legoland, Six Flags Texas… The possibilities are endless. There’s bound to be several big or small theme parks in driving distance from you in America – visit one you’ve never been to before for fun and laughter until home time.

Road Trip

Sometimes the most fun is in the journey – and that’s never been truer than in the case of a road trip. Make your journey to your ultimate vacation destination an adventure in itself by packing everyone into an RV and setting off on the road! Take a trip on one of the world’s most famous highways, Route 66, or just plan to take the scenic route to where ever you’re off to. Whether you’re headed to grandma’s house or to the beach, take the car and make some camping stop-overs on the way. You’ll love your time spent in close proximity with the family, playing all your favorite CDs as the scenery flies by.
