Here are some ideas on things that you can do that are fun for everyone:<\/p>\n<h2>Family Reunions<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Rent a large beach house and have the whole family chip in.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Meet at Grandma and Grandpa's house for their 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Schedule an upcoming reunion around a wedding so everyone can share in the joy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>History Tours<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Tour the old town cobblestone streets of Boston or majestic Ellis Island in New York City.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>If you'd like the kids to learn about the Lewis and Clark Expedition take them to The End of the Trail in Seaside, Oregon.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The Smithsonian and other Washington, D.C. museums can also be an excellent educational family getaway.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>For a bit of world history, research Rome, Italy and wander among ancient monuments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"ad ad-container visible-xs-block\" style=\"height: 330px !important;\">\n    <div class=\"ad-label alt-text alt-pos-above\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-mob_prem1_mid-0\" class=\"DFPAdSlot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ad ad-container hidden-xs offset\" style=\"height: 680px !important;width: 300px !important;\">\n    <div class=\"ad-label\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-dt_btf_inarticle1-1\" class=\"DFPAdSlot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Camping<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>If you're low on funds, have a neighborhood campout over a summer weekend. Your own backyard is the perfect place to roast marshmallows and stargaze, or reserve a campsite at your local state park.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Go camping in one of over 1000 National Parks in the United States. Get a yearly pass and you can enter any park in America.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The Appalachian Trail spans 13 states and is ideal for camping and hiking for a fantastic family vacation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Amusement Parks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Disneyland and Disney World are perfect theme parks for any family.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Sea World, Six Flags, and Knott's Berry Farm are also family favorites. They are a relatively cheaper option depending on how many days you plan to visit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Check locally for state or county fairs that feature amusement rides, rodeos, and other activities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cruising<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Disney Cruise Line is perfect for families. Some destinations offer a Kids Sail Free option. Remember to budget extra money for excursions off the ship.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, and Carnival Cruise Line also have many onboard activities and fun for the whole family.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>If cruising is not an option, you could rent your own boat and hang out on the lake for the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"bnm-poll-modal\" class=\"modal\"><div class=\"modal-content\"><span class=\"modal-close\">&times;<\/span><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming up with activities for large groups of people can be difficult &#8211; especially when it comes to your family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5825,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","fbia_status":""},"categories":[626],"tags":[120,412,741,13,1159,198],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.9 (Yoast SEO v17.9) -
