My Vacation Destination

Ever feel like your family vacations are less than perfect? Have you had a vacation that consisted of listening to your kids constantly complaining about boredom? Does it seem impossible to find a destination with activities that can please everyone from kids to teens and adults? Then it’s about time you experienced the never-ending excitement of California family vacations.

California has enjoyed a well-deserved reputation for being a true vacation wonderland. The Golden State is a place where you and your family really can experience it ALL. California vacations give you a chance to show your kids the beauty of the deserts and then take them surfing in the Pacific Ocean. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a high tech marvel, and it has been dubbed the best aquarium in the world.

You can also plan a hike through northern California’s Sierra Mountain range, visit the giant redwood forest, explore Chinatown, and then take everyone for a drive down Lombard Street in San Francisco. Lombard is known as the “crookedest” street in the US.

Does your family enjoy amusement park fun? If so, there are few other places where you will find such a wide variety of theme parks to choose from. Why not check out Six Flags Discovery Kingdom near San Francisco, Universal Studios Hollywood, or Adventure City in Stanton.

Little kids and big kids will both love visiting Legoland California. Here there are over 50 rides for you to choose from, and of course, there is always plenty of Lego fun for everyone. If you want to try some upscale lodging accommodations, you can check in to the nearby Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa. If you stay here, your family gets to use the resort’s private Legoland entrance.

The original Disneyland in Anaheim is a California icon; and who doesn’t love Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck? Today, Disneyland has two theme parks and is more exciting than ever before. If you plan to visit this, it will require at least a couple of days for your family to experience all of the sights. This is a main attraction for those planning California family vacations.

There are also some other California theme parks that you might want to put on your schedule. These include Sea World, California’s Great America, WaterWorld, Pixieland Park, and Knotts Berry Farm. Even if your family includes toddlers and older teens these parks have something to offer that will delight every age group.

Lake Tahoe is a great place for families and the activities and excitement are non-stop. This is an ideal destination for people who enjoy sports and outdoor life. At Tahoe, there is swimming, canoeing, sailing, fishing and water-skiing available during the warmer months. In the winter, you and your family can enjoy downhill skiing, snowboarding or learn how to use a toboggan.

Exciting California family vacations are possible at any time of the year. In San Francisco, you can visit the city’s world famous zoo, drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, or tour the sights by riding on the cable cars. You will want to have your camera charged and ready to capture the natural beauty of The City by the Bay.

Yosemite National Park is another of California’s natural wonders that your family will want to visit. The mountains and waterfalls are unbelievably beautiful and there are plenty of hiking trails available. Camping, mountain climbing, biking, and white water rafting adventures are just a few of the activities that Yosemite visitors can enjoy.
