As a kid our best family vacations were road trips and the king of the road trips was from Salinas California to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, up to Glacier National Park, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and then looping back to Vancouver, Seattle and home. Not only did the National Parks live up to our expectations but we found little gems like Lewis and Clark Caverns in Montana. Truly memorable.

With my kids it would be hard to choose but I would probably say taking my kids to Italy when they were around 10 and 11. Venice and Rome still fill me with wonder but seeing them through the eyes of my kids made them even more special.

My favorite vacation is and always will be a cabin on a pristine, somewhat cold mountain lake in Northern Montana. It has everything a child needs for a happy vacation. A cold stream for frog hunting, golden glitter in the sand, a dock to jump off into the icy water, and yes mosquitoes and horseflys.
