Orlando, FL There is so much to do in Orlando that includes swimming with the dolphins

in Discovery Cove to the very famous Walt Disney World. But if you are

looking for a waterpark, check out Orlando Aquatica Water Park. This

water park is listed as one of the top ten waterparks in the USA boasting tons

of slides and rides, and options to swim with the dolphins. They also have

four dining options as well.

Cruising Cruising is always a favorite for families. And being that there are ports all

over the country, most families can get on a cruise ship by driving to a port.

One of the primary reasons cruising is desired by parents is that the daily

itinerary generally gives the adults some alone time. Here is an example :

Grab breakfast at the buffet each morning, disembark after breakfast to

explore the port you’ve just pulled into. Return to the ship in the late

afternoon, feed the kids a quick dinner, and drop them at the kids’ club. Then

the adults will have a civilized meal, go for a moonlit stroll on deck, go see a

show, or spend the evening dancing. You may pick up the kids around 10:30

p.m from the kid’s club. On days at sea, you may find that the kids will beg to

stay in the kids’ club all day long. Or you will have the option to drag them

out at appropriate intervals to exercise them in the pools and on the sports

deck and to feed them at the buffet.

“It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine ...

it's summertime!” ― Kenny Chesney

If your kids aren’t out of school yet, they

could probably tell you the exact amount of

days and minutes until it is officially

summer. With summer comes beautiful

weather, longer days, more cookouts, and

generally for most families, a “family

vacation”. If you haven’t figured out yet

where to take the entire clan, I’m sure like

most families, you will want to save money,

get a great value, and still have a relaxing,

fun-filled vacation where you will be able to

create memories to last a life-time.

So, now the planning begins! Instead of

surfing the web for hours trying to find that

perfect family vacation, call us for some

great suggestions. And no, it’s not too late

for some great summer values.

Where to go? What to do? Places that will

please the entire family!

DUDE RANCH &

THE GRAND CANYON

If you haven’t been there yet, you will

want to see the Grand Canyon at

some point with your family. Over

5,000,000 people travel to the Grand

Canyon every year, and it is a great

place to visit especially with older

children. There is so much to do and

see that includes the National Park,

Grand Canyon Railway, and Dude

Ranches.

When you stay at a dude ranch, you

get a real feel of the old Wild West! I

recommend the Grand Canyon

Ranch, you can go on a horseback

ride overnight camp-out just like a

cowboy. Stay in a tepee and go on a

buffalo safari, or ride in a horse

drawn wagon. There are so many

options you can literally customize

your dude ranch experience!

Inside the ranch gives that country

home feeling with a southwest decor.

With spirit mountain in the

background and the Arizona sunsets,

it’s definitely a win-win situation.
