The Perfect Mix: San Diego<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Diego<\/a> is the perfect destination for families looking for a mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. First of all, you\u2019ll find some legendary kid-beloved attractions in the area: the San Diego Zoo<\/a>, LEGOLAND California<\/a> and SeaWorld<\/a> to name just a few. But with 70 miles of coastline, you\u2019ll also be able to enjoy some truly spectacular beaches, including Coronado Beach, La Jolla Cove and Pacific Beach. There\u2019s also the urban excitement of the Gaslamp Quarter<\/a>, where you can shop, dine to your heart\u2019s delight \u2014 not to mention catch a San Diego Padres baseball game at Petco Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sand And Sun (And More!): Nuevo Vallarta<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuevo Vallarta<\/a> is a beautiful destination located in the Riviera Nayarit region of Mexico.

Coastal Carolina: Myrtle Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for a classic seaside vacation? Myrtle Beach<\/a> boasts more than 60 miles of sandy beaches along the beautiful South Carolina coastline. You could easily spend an entire week enjoying these beaches, whether you\u2019re wading in the calm waters of North Myrtle Beach or escaping the crowds at Garden City Beach. But the beaches are just the beginning of what a Myrtle Beach summer vacation has to offer families. Did you know that the city is known as the Miniature Golf Capital of the World? There are more than 50 putt-putt courses to choose from, all with their own wacky designs and landscapes.

The Theme Park Capital Of The World: Orlando<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orlando<\/a> is known as the theme park capital of the world \u2014 and for good reason. Home to Walt Disney World<\/a>, Universal Orlando<\/a> (including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter), and SeaWorld Orlando<\/a>, your family will have the time of their lives exploring these fantastically fun attractions. Of course, Orlando isn\u2019t just<\/em> theme parks. When you want a little space to yourself, try an eco-adventure at Blue Springs State Park<\/a>, a pristine spot where you can encounter Florida\u2019s gentle manatee. Or for something a little less gentle, head to Gatorland<\/a> and dare one another to try the Screamin\u2019 Gator Zipline, which sends you zooming over more than 100 giant alligators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orlando Summer Tip:<\/strong> Every summer Tuesday, Orlando\u2019s best food trucks converge on the city\u2019s Milk District for Tasty Takeovers<\/a>, a can\u2019t-miss block party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
