Taking a vacation with the family is always a welcome respite from the stresses of daily life. What makes it even better is choosing just the right destination. Some are better suited to families than others are. Many of the best travel destinations are found on the west coast.
SPOKANE, WASHINGTON Spokane, Washington, is excellent for families, as it boasts activities people of all ages enjoy. They can choose from experiences such as zip-lining, kayaking, and hiking through the city's many parks. Visually, one of the highlights is the Spokane Waterfalls. A perk of visiting this destination is that it can be a country and city vacation all in one trip.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
Seattle is another hotspot for families. During the summer, days last 16 hours, so there is plenty of time to see and do everything without the need to rush. There is so much to do in Seattle, and it is referred to as an outdoor playground of the Northwest. With many beaches, families can always find a place to relax. Notable attractions in this city include the Space Needle and the Pike Place Market.
The San Juan Islands of Washington provide endless choices in entertainment. Like Seattle, the San Juan Islands boast 16 hour-long summer days. Popular activities include bald eagle and whale watching. There are lots of opportunities for kayaking through the ocean and zip-lining through the forest. The only way to get to the San Juan Islands is by flying in or taking a ferry, something the whole family can enjoy.
