Hi Mom<BR><BR>Wow sounds like you have exposed your kids to a lot. What have you got against Europe? Pretty cool to show your kids a real castle, sounds like it would not be out of budget for you.<BR><BR>Otherwise I would explore the national parks, perhaps Quebec for European feel. Might get the kids ready for more foreign travel. Nothing like showing kids a real suit of armor, real pizza, real French Fries. Enjoy whatever you decide to do. <BR><BR>And are you willing to adopt an adult???

My only vacation memory is of the Aztec Hotel in Cape May. Pretty seedy, but it was on the beach and had a nice pool. Tons of kids, sand castle competitions. But what fascinated me most was putting a quarter into the soda machine and watching a Dr. Pepper roll out. Of course, we had no VCR's or cell phones back then....

We took our 6 year old to San Juan. Then crused Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Southern Carib. Itin.. We had a blast. Then spent a week in St. Thomas.<BR>Previous summers: Las Vegas, San Diego, Cabo San Lucas, Washington Dc (great), Hawaii<BR>Have a great time , we ALSO live in th sw.<BR>Jean

My husband &amp; i took a trip this spring to Chicago. It was incredibly clean! The whole time i kept thinking how much my kids would have enjoyed it. There is a childrens museum that is suppose to be incredible. The pier was a fun atmosphere and if you have a girl the American Girl tea room would be great.
