Family Vacation Ideas #4: Across the Puget Sound from Seattle, Washington is
Port Ludlow. This former lumber mill turned family vacation destination has wonderful views of the Olympic Mountains and fantastic recreation choices. The
Port Ludlow Golf Resort provides top accommodations and excellent dining. Their championship golf course is rated one the best in the country. The Port Ludlow Marina is very active with sailing, recreation cruises, fishing charters, clamming and crabbing all awaiting the family looking for some vacation fun.
You can hike to Ludlow Falls on the interpretive trail. Grab a couple kayaks at the Marina and explore around the islands in Puget Sound. The kids will love Teal Lake which is well stocked for some fun 'catch & release' trout fishing. Hop on Captain Jack’s Sea Charters and head out for some great whale watching.
Family Vacation Ideas #5: Philadelphia is a great place for a family vacation and one of the best places to go is the
Franklin Institute. The kids will love the place and probably won't even realize that they are getting a history and science lesson. The Franklin Institute pays homage to the great scientist, philosopher and statesman, Benjamin Franklin. Hands-on exhibits are everywhere as well as fun demonstrations by the museum's staff. There's a huge human heart that you can actually walk inside. The Electric Gallery is exhilerating and will make your hand stand on on end. Kid Science demonstrates basic science in a way that is fun for young children. The museum is interactive in so many ways and offers so many fascinating and fun things to do.
