The Winnetu Resort: Fun For Families on Martha’s Vineyard 2008-04-21 09:02:00 Although we didn’t bring any of our five children nor our one grandchild with us when we visited The Winnetu Resort
here on South Beach (also called Katama Beach), almost as soon as we arrived, we wished we had. The first hint that this is not only an elegant hideaway for adult couples but a heavenly place for children as well was the 1941 Ford fire truck that goes back and forth the three miles from the resort into town, almost always filled with laughing children. The second were the small Adirondack chairs placed on the huge front lawn of the Winnetu that overlooks the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. They’re about the perfect size for a 3-year-old.Lots of resorts now feature some sort of children’s program with activities for the little ones while Mom and Dad (and perhaps Grandma an Read more:Families

See Alaska Your Way 2008-04-21 08:56:00 By its very nature, Alaska
conjures up images of adventure and rugged independence. After all, this is America's last frontier -- the "great land" as the native Aleuts called it.

We wanted a unique vacation experience that gave us the freedom to design our own trip and see Alaska in a more unique, personalized way. We wanted to get out and immerse ourselves in the wonders of Alaska, not simply just tour it or see it while trapped on the other side of the glass.For families who want to see a lot of Alaska in a relatively short period of time, designing the perfect trip can be tough. After all, Alaska is approximately 586,000 square miles in size and includes 19 awe-inspirin

Disneyland for Teens: Where To Discover The Magic 2008-04-19 08:47:00 Walt dreamed up Disneyland
for his two little girls, but “The Happiest Place on Earth” has plenty to offer big kids as well. When we recently visited with my 17-year-old daughter and 20-year-old son, they were both charmed and thrilled by this classic park. Though tiny in comparison to Disney World in Orlando (where we’ve been vacationing since the kids were tots), Disneyland’s intimacy is what makes it so special -- and so appealing to teenagers. The easy-to-navigate layout makes it a snap to race from Space Mountain to Splash Mountain, even though they’re in different parts of the park. And when they’re done in Disneyland, kids can dash over to Disney’s California Adventure, just steps across the promenade from Disneyland’s gates.
