Read all about why river cruising is so much better than an ocean cruise! 

Take an Epic Cruise from Burgundy to Provence with Your Amazing Family

Day One: Chalon-Sur-Saone 

Depending on when your flight arrives, you may have time for a little sightseeing before boarding the ship for your river cruise. After unpacking in your cabin, you can wander around the ship and enjoy a delicious dinner.  

Day Two: Tournus 

Overnight, the ship will have sailed to Tournus. It will arrive in port while you are still sleeping. Be prepared to be in a new destination already when you wake up in the morning.  

After a hearty breakfast, you will head out into town with your local tour guide. They will show you the sights throughout town before returning you to the ship. However, I recommend taking the time to also visit the Castle of Cormatin or enjoy a wine tasting in a Chardonnay wine cellar before getting back on board.  

Day Three: Lyon 

You will arrive in Lyon after breakfast on day three of your epic cruise with family. Use this downtime to relax a little.  

When you arrive in Lyon, you will have a choice of either a bike ride along the banks of the Rhone and Saone Rivers or a visit to Fourviere Hill. The latter will have you exploring Old Town, as well as the fountain of Places des Terreaux.  

Day Four: Lyon 

You will stay in Lyon for part of another day during your epic cruise. Spend the day exploring on your own. Or join a culinary walking tour to try some of the local cuisine.  

The ship will leave port early in the evening to sail to your next destination. Spend this time enjoying the activities on the ship.  

Day Five: Tournon and Viviers 

You will spend the morning in Tournon. Spend this time taking a guided walking tour to see the best sights in this medieval city.  

After a leisurely lunch, the ship will sail to Viviers where you can also take a guided walking tour. Live entertainment will be available back on the ship after dinner.  

Day Six: Avignon 

You have a few options for your time in Avignon. A guided tour will take you to the Palace of the Popes. Or you can visit the Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard or the wine cellars of Chateauneuf-du-Pape for a wine tasting.  

Another option is to simply explore this area on your own. You can visit a museum or watch a show at the theater.  

Day Seven: Arles 

You will be in Arles in the morning, which means another walking tour. If you decide not to walk another step, you can always participate in a painting workshop. This workshop will teach you how to paint like Vincent van Gogh.  

No matter what you do, I recommend stopping in Le Café van Gogh for a glass of wine before heading back to the ship.  

Day Eight: Arles 

Your ship will still be in Arles when you wake up on the last day of your epic cruise with family. You will have traveled from Burgundy to Provence over the last few days, making memories you will cherish forever.  

There are so many other river cruises available in France and the rest of Europe. I can help you plan one that will have your family excited to be traveling together. Here’s my guide to the best European cruise lines to get you started, as you consider this type of family vacation. 

So, are you ready to have me create a personalized itinerary for your epic cruise?  

If you said yes, I would like to invite you to click here to schedule a personalized family vacation planning session with me. When you click the link, you will be taken directly to my digital calendar to schedule a time that is convenient for you.

8 Day Amazing Vacation in Scotland with Your Family

Day One: Edinburgh 

The first day of your epic family vacation in Scotland will have you landing at Edinburgh Airport. Once you are all checked in at your hotel, you will have free time to walk around the city.  There is so much to see and do in Edinburgh, you probably won’t experience it all during this visit. 

Start by wandering along Victoria Street. This cobblestone street is one of the best streets in Old Town Edinburgh. Experience the history of this area in between stops in the local shops.  

From there, stop at Greyfriars Bobby and Kirkyard to pay your respects at the grave of John Gray and his dog. According to the legend, Bobby the dog spent fourteen years guarding the grave of his owner, John Gray. He sat by his grave until his own death in 1872.  

Your last stop of the day will be Holyrood Palace.  

Day Two: Edinburgh 

Your family will do a lot of walking today, as you take a guided tour of Edinburgh. You will walk along the Royal Mile to see numerous historical sites and buildings. Pay close attention to all the shops, restaurants, and pubs along this street. You may want to return to some of them during your free time.  

At the end of the Royal Mile is Edinburgh Castle. This castle is located on Castle Rock. A guided tour will have you seeing the Stone of Destiny, the Crown Jewels of Scotland, and the One O’Clock Gun.  

After a long day of walking, you will be more than happy to indulge in the scotch whiskey experience. You will be given a tour of the distillery before having a tasting of the best whiskey in Scotland.  

Day Three: Shetland Islands 

As fun as exploring Edinburgh will be for your family, there is so much more to this country. And you will want to see it all during your family vacation in Scotland. So, you will spend part of today on a plane, as you fly to the Shetland Islands.  

You may have time to wander around a little, depending on the time of your arrival. Don’t worry if you decide to take a later flight to the Shetland Islands. Tomorrow is another day. And at least you were able to make a few more memories in Edinburgh before the next part of your adventure.  

Day Four: Shetland Islands 

If you visit the Shetland Islands between the months of January and March, you will have the chance to attend one of the fire festivals. Up Helly Aa is what these fire festivals are called by the locals.  

These festivals include a torchlit procession led by costumed participants. The end of the procession includes the burning of Viking galley.  

Basically, this festival is something you will never see anywhere else in the world. It will be a magical time filled with opportunities to make memories with your family.  

Day Five: Shetland Islands 

Today, you will have the chance to wander around the Shetland Islands on your own. Or you can simply enjoy the amenities your hotel has to offer, as you experience a day of relaxation.  

Day Six: Inverness, Highlands 

After a day of family fun, you will be more than ready to hop on a plane to travel to Inverness, Highlands. This area is on the central northern coast of Scotland.  

I recommend visiting the Inverness Castle after checking into your hotel. Then you can venture over to the Victorian Market to do a little shopping. It is an excellent place to find a few souvenirs.  

Before you head back to your hotel for the night, stop at the Castle Tavern. This restaurant offers some of the best food in the area. Your whole family can enjoy a meal while looking out towards the River Ness.  

Day Seven: Pitlochry 

Have you ever wanted to search for the Loch Ness monster? You will have the chance when you are driven to Pitlochry!  

After a search for the infamous Loch Ness monster, you will continue to Cairngorms National Park. Here you will walk along the only reindeer in Britain. Those reindeer live at the Cairngorm Reindeer Center.  

A stop for a Dalwhinnie distillery tour will have you trying three different malt whiskeys before heading to your hotel in Pitlochry.  

Walk around town after dinner to see the sights.  

Day Eight: Livingston 

On your way to Livingston on day eight of your vacation in Scotland, you will stop at Stirling Castle. There is so much to do at this castle, and it will all be included in your admission. The highlights of your visit will include seeing the Chapel Royal, the Great Kitchens, and the Tapestry Studio.  

You won’t be spending as much time as you would like at this castle, because you will need to continue to The Kelpies in Falkirk. These horse head sculptures are located at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal.  

The rest of your day will be spent in Livingston, as you prepare for your departure back home in the morning. This trip will have gone by way too fast. But you will always have the memories you made to cherish forever.  

So, are you ready to have me create a personalized itinerary for your family vacation in Scotland or another destination?

7 Extraordinary Days Exploring During a Family Vacation in Northern Ireland 

Day One: Dublin 

Okay, so if you were nervous you were going to miss all the excitement in Dublin while on vacation in Northern Ireland, don’t worry! You will be landing at the airport in Dublin and have a couple of days to spend there.  

Once you have checked into your hotel, it will be time to head out into the city and experience the best of Dublin. Your first stop will be the Guinness Storehouse. Your family will tour all seven floors of the storehouse, while learning about the history of the Guinness brand. At the end of the tour, you get to drink a pint of Guinness beer.

Hopefully you slept well after your first day in Dublin, because you will hit the streets early today for a walking tour. Your private guide will take you to St. Stephen’s Green, Merrion Square, Dublin Castle, Christchurch, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral.  

Before returning to your hotel, you will stop at Temple Bar and Trinity College. The Book of Kells will be the highlight of your time at the college.  

In the afternoon, it will be time to visit the Jameson Distillery. During your distillery tour, you will learn the history of this whiskey and how it is made.  

Day Three: Dublin to Belfast 

You will be up early on day three of your family vacation in Northern Ireland. This is so your driver can take you to Belfast. During the drive, you will stop at Newgrange and the Mourne Coast.  

Newgrange is a Neolithic passage tomb. This tomb has been around for more than five thousand years. Over at the River Boyne, you will see where the Battle of the Boyne took place. Your family may have time to see some of the other ruins in the area before continuing to County Down.  

That mountainous region is full of ancient history. A stop in Newcastle will allow you to stretch your legs before you reach the town of Downpatrick. This is where Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick, was laid to rest.  

Before you know it, you will be in Belfast. After dinner, and a walk around town, you will be more than ready for a good night’s sleep.  

Day Four: Belfast 

If you didn’t manage to walk around when you arrived in Belfast, don’t worry. Your family will have plenty of time to explore this city today. Your day will begin with a guided drive through Belfast. Your guide will take you along Falls Road before heading to the Crumlin Road Jail, Europa Hotel, and the Crown Bar.  

If that doesn’t sound fascinating, you can choose to take a full-day tour of Belfast. During that tour, you will wander through Cathedral Quarter to see St. Anne’s Cathedral, Donegal Place, and the Grand Opera House.  

Before you head back to your hotel, you can stop at the Belfast Castle Estate and the Titanic Museum.  

Day Five: Belfast to Donegal 

It will be another day in the car on day five of your vacation in Northern Ireland. Today, you will be taken to Donegal. But not before you visit the Glens of Antrim. This is a collection of nine verdant valleys.  

After that stop, it will be time to see the Causeway Coast, as well as the Giants Causeway. This is one of the Natural Wonders of the World. You will want to stay there forever, but your guide will convince you to go back in the car to see Dunluce Castle.  

After you have seen all the sights for the day, you will arrive in Donegal, ready to relive all the memories you made throughout the day.  

Day Six: Donegal to Galway 

You won’t be in Donegal for long, as you must head to Galway. During today’s drive, you will stop at the Moycullen Riding Centre. Hop onto the back of a horse and take a ride through the countryside with your family.  

After your exciting ride through the countryside, it will be time to continue to Galway. Spend a couple hours exploring, as you will need to return to Dublin in the morning.  

Day Seven: Galway to Dublin 

Today is your last day of vacation in Northern Ireland. You will need to return to Dublin to catch your flight back home. Thankfully, you will have plenty of memories to talk about during your flight. Unless of course, you are all so tired, you simply sleep the entire time.  

There are so many other things you can do while exploring during a family vacation in Northern Ireland. I can add as many of them as you want to your itinerary when I personalize it for your family’s vacation in Ireland.

7 Day Amazing Vacation in Paris and Munich with Your Family 

Day One: Paris 

A private driver will meet you at the airport in Paris to transport you to your hotel. Once you check in, you can unpack, relax, and enjoy the amenities at the hotel. Or you can walk around the city, embracing the Parisian ambiance.  

Of course, you could also take a nap. However, that might not be the best way to begin your family vacation in Paris.  

Day Two: Paris 

After a delicious breakfast in the morning, your family will head out on a half-day tour of the city. Your adventure will begin in Ile de La Cite. This is where the Cathedral of Notre Dame is located. From there you will go to Place des Vosges, the Louvre (one of the best museums in Paris), Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysees, and finally the Eiffel Tower.  

You will make so many memories during this little adventure through the city. But your favorite part may be the views from the third-floor observation deck at the Eiffel Tower.  

After a busy morning, you will head to a wine cellar for a wine tasting. Six different wines from different regions in France will be poured for you. Don’t be surprised if you have a new favorite or two by the end. And purchase a few bottles to take home with you.  

Day Three: Paris to Munich 

Day two of your amazing vacation was a busy one! But today will be busier, as you all leave Paris to begin your family vacation in Munich. A quick flight will be necessary to get from Paris to Munich. A private driver will transport you from the airport in Munich to your hotel.  

After quickly unpacking, it will be time to go on a private tour of the city. Your guide will share the history of the city during this tour. Your guide can customize the tour for your family. So, feel free to ask to see specific sights when you reach your meeting point.  

Day Four: Munich 

Today is all about castles and palaces. The first stop of the day is Neuschwanstein Castle. This gorgeous castle looks out over the village of Fussen.  

You’ll have plenty of time to wander around the grounds of this castle. But before long, it will be time to head over to Linderhof Palace. This was the smallest of the three palaces owned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria. 

While this palace was the smallest, it is the only one of King Ludwig II’s three palaces completed before his death.  

Day Five: Munich 

Day five of your vacation in Munich will be a somber day. This is because your family will be visiting the location of Dachau. This was a concentration camp operated by the Nazis. The horrors experienced here are on display at the museum.  

Day Six: Munich 

Anyone who loves fairy tale endings will be thrilled with the opportunity to visit the famed walled city of Rothenburg on this next to last day of your family vacation. Walk along the cobblestone streets, as you look at centuries-old buildings and ornate statues.  

It will feel like you have stepped back into the Middle Ages, as you explore this city. A couple of the stops you will be making here include Harburg Castle, Museum of Medieval Criminal Justice, and the Christmas Museum.  

Day Seven: Munich 

This will be your last day in Munich. Depending on the time of your flight, you may not have much time to enjoy many more sights. But if you do, make the most of it, so you can make a few final memories with your family.  

There are so many other things you can do during a family vacation in Paris and a vacation in Munich. I can easily add those to your itinerary to make it easier for your family to make memories together.

10 Day Amazing Safari During Your Family Vacation in Kenya

Day One: Nairobi 

Day one of your intriguing safari family vacation in Kenya will begin with you landing at the airport and being taken to your hotel. You will have the rest of the day to relax and get used to your new surroundings. That also includes getting up to speed in a new time zone.  

Use this time to take a few family photos. Maybe even start a journal to record everything you experience together as a family.  

Day Two: The Ngong Hills 

Your entire family will feel like a native today as you travel towards the Ngong Hills. You will see an old colonial farmhouse that Karen Blixen lived in. You’ll have the chance to wander through the gardens before going to the Giraffe Centre. There you will see the Rothschild giraffe living its best life.  

Day Three: Nairobi and Amboseli 

You will leave early today for your trip to Amboseli National Park. I recommend flying, as it will get you there much faster. Once you have arrived in Amboseli, you will be taken to your hotel to check in. During the drive to the hotel, you will be taken on your very first game drive.  

Don’t worry, you will have another game drive after lunch. So, if you don’t see much during the first one, the second one shouldn’t disappoint.  

Day Four: Amboseli National Park 

This entire day will be spent inside Amboseli National Park. Your guide will show you the popular sights within this park, while also pointing out the wild animals you see along the way. A couple of the animals you might see include hyenas, cheetahs, wildebeest, and zebras.  

Day Five: Amboseli and Samburu 

Day five of your safari family vacation in Kenya will be a busy one. After a delicious breakfast, your family will be whisked away for one last game drive before being taken to the airport. At that point, it will be time to fly to Samburu for the next portion of your vacation.  

Day Six: Samburu National Reserve 

Your first full day in Samburu National Reserve will be full of game drives. You can choose not to go on one, but I don’t recommend doing that. The reason I don’t recommend it is you know the one game drive you don’t go on will be the one with the most action!  

After all, you won’t want to miss seeing the elephants, giraffe, ostrich, and gerenuk up close.  

Day Seven: Samburu and Masai Mara 

Another flight is scheduled for today to take you from Samburu to the Masai Mara. Your family won’t be able to contain their excitement over the fact they are finally going to see Masai Mara up close!  

You will be taken directly to your accommodation to check in and eat lunch. Then the fun begins with a game drive that takes place just before the sun sets.  

Day Eight: Masai Mara National Reserve 

Your first full day in Masai Mara will have you taking to the air during a hot air balloon ride. There is nothing better than seeing the vast wilderness, and some of the wildlife, from miles above. This will be the perfect day for making memories with your family!  

If you can, I recommend scheduling your vacation in Kenya for when the Great Migration takes place. Then you can watch millions of animals run across the reserve while in the hot air balloon.  

Day Nine: Masai Mara National Reserve 

Driving through the Masai Mara National Reserve will be the highlight of your next to last day in Kenya. Even the smallest things will matter the most today, because you won’t want to miss even a moment during your family vacation.  

Some of the animals you will see today include hippos, elephants, rhinos, lions, and cheetahs.  

Day Ten: Masai Mara and Nairobi 

You will have one last chance to go out on safari in Masai Mara before being taken to the airport for your flight back to Nairobi. This ten-day family vacation in Kenya for an intriguing safari will have gone by way too fast. However, you will always have the memories you made along the way. Cherish them and make others during future vacations.  

This itinerary was packed of safari adventures, which is usually what happens when travelers go to Kenya to see the wildlife. So, don’t be surprised if your family’s itinerary looks similar. However, I will add other activities to your days if your family is interested in doing something other than safari in this part of the world.  

So, are you ready to have me create a personalized family vacation itinerary for your trip to Kenya or another destination?  

If you said yes, I would like to invite you to click here to schedule a personalized family vacation planning session with me. When you click the link, you will be taken directly to my digital calendar to schedule a time that is convenient for you.

Experience the Amazing Kenai Fjords During Your Family Vacation in Alaska 

Day One: Alaska Railroad, Seward, and Resurrection Bay 

Your first day exploring the Kenai Fjords will start out bright and early! You will be picked up in Anchorage for a four-hour train ride on the Alaska Railroad. This scenic ride will take you towards the south until you reach Seward.  

When you arrive in Seward, you will receive all you need for your kayaking adventure on Resurrection Bay. During your time out on the water, your family will have the opportunity to see sea lions, orca whales, and Dall’s porpoises.  

After your time in the kayak, you will be taken to your hotel to check in. The rest of the evening will be yours to relax, explore the town, and relive the memories you have already made on this family vacation.  

Day Two: Exit Glacier, Harding Icefield, and Seward 

A hearty breakfast will be needed on day two of your family vacation along the Kenai Fjords. This is a big day of hiking to see the spectacular sights!  

There are two hikes you can choose from on this incredible day. The easier hike will take you along the Exit Glacier Overlook Trail. The more challenging hike takes you to the Harding Ice Field.  

The hike your family takes will depend on how skilled your family is at wandering around in the wilderness. Afterwards, a stop at the Alaska Sea Life Center will be the perfect way to unwind. Imagine relaxing amongst the puffins, sea lions, and other sea life.  

Day Three: Kenai Fjords National Park Wilderness Cruise and Seward 

Yes, you are spending three nights in Seward, so every evening in town brings new sights and sounds. Hopefully, your family didn’t overdo it last night, because you have a big day today! The adventure for day three of your family vacation in Alaska includes a Kenai Fjords National Park Wilderness Cruise.  

This will be an easy day where you can sit back and relax, as the captain and crew do all the work. Have your camera ready to capture pictures of the glaciers and marine life. Don’t forget to get the family in the pictures. You won’t want to forget the memories you are making during this time away from home.  

Day Four: Johnson Pass Trail, Hope, and Girdwood 

After quickly packing your belongings in the morning, it will be time to head out for a bike ride on the Johnson Pass Trail. Your family will pedal along Granite Creek all the way to the gold rush town of Hope. This trail is twenty-five miles long, so it will take a few hours to complete the journey. Don’t worry, you will be rewarded with waterfalls, alpine valleys, and tons of wildflowers along the way.  

At the end of the ride, you will be taken to Girdwood to check into your hotel. You may want to grab an early dinner before heading back to your room for a good night’s sleep.  

Day Five: Mount Alyeska and Byron Glacier 

You cannot spend a family vacation in Alaska and not hike the trails of a mountain. At least not when you are in the Kenai Fjords.  

On day five of your family vacation, you will hike the trail on Mount Alyeska. Once you reach the summit, you will see glaciers and other mountains for as far as you can see. Hopefully you get a really clear day when you tackle this adventure!  

The good news is you won’t need to hike back down to the bottom. There will be a tram waiting to give you a ride.  

After a picnic lunch, I recommend heading over to a nearby glacier that you can walk on. It will be the perfect way to spend the end of your family vacation!  

Day Six: Girdwood to Indian Creek and Anchorage 

Today is your last day in the Kenai Fjords. Thankfully, you can all take a bike ride to Indian Creek before heading back to Anchorage and saying goodbye.  

There are so many other fun things your family can do while visiting the Kenai Fjords while on vacation in Alaska. You can even include this adventure with a few days in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and other Alaskan destinations. The choice is yours. All you need to do is let me know what your family wants to do, and I will personalize your vacation accordingly.

Day Two 

You will need to get up and moving on day two of your family vacation in Italy. This day begins with breakfast at your hotel. Then a local expert guide will take you on a stroll in the lesser popular areas of Florence.  

This five-hour long tour begins on the south side of the Arno River. You will walk over the Ponte Vecchio to where the tiny squares, workshops, and small boutiques are located. Other stops during this tour will include the Palazzo Pitti, Palatine Gallery, and Boboli Gardens.  

After your tour, your family can start sharing their favorite parts of your vacation in Italy. This will be the beginning of chapter one in your memory book from this family vacation.  

Day Three 

Magical adventures await you on day three in Florence. Today, your driver will take you to Mugello. The options of what your family can do here are endless. Someone may want to go horseback riding on the trails, while another person may want to go shopping at the outlets.  

If you decide to visit this area with your family, I will make sure everyone gets to do the things on their must-do list.  

Day Four 

A cooking class will keep everyone in your family busy on your last day in Florence. This four-hour class will be taught by a private chef.  

After arriving at class, your family will be taken to the local market to shop for the ingredients you will need to prepare the dishes of the day. A quick stop at a café after the market will allow everyone to enjoy a cappuccino or espresso before the cooking begins.  

During the cooking class, you will prepare a full course meal that includes between four or five dishes. This will include dessert. Once the dishes are all ready to eat, you will sit down to devour them and marvel at how well you all did during the process.  

This is definitely one of the best things you will love talking about when revisiting this chapter in your memory book in the future.  

Chapter Two: Radda in Chianti 

Day Five 

Day five will be an early day during your family vacation in Italy. This is the day your private driver will pick you up at your hotel to take you to Radda in Chianti. During the drive, you will be thankful you get to stop in San Gimignano for a little bit. There is plenty to see in this medieval town.  In fact, there are so many small towns to visit in Italy. I can easily add many of them to your personalized itinerary for your family vacation in Italy! 

After you arrive in this area of Chianti, you will check into your hotel. Then your family will have plenty of time to explore on your own or simply enjoy the amenities at your accommodations.  

Day Six 

After a leisurely breakfast, it will be time to head out to discover some of the best olive oils in the Tuscan region. By the end of today, you will know how olive oil is produced. Your family will also know the little secrets that make this the best olive oil in the world.  

Don’t worry, you will get to sample some of this olive oil. The olive oil will be paired with some local specialties, including desserts! Think about all the delicious foods you can add to this chapter of your memory book! I recommend taking lots of pictures, so you can try to recreate the recipes back home.  

Day Seven 

Yesterday was all about olive oil. Today is all about the wine in Chianti. Your first stop will be in villages like Gaiole and Castellina. A drive through the vineyards in the countryside will lead you to a winery where you will have a fabulous wine tasting.  

A little bruschetta, cheeses, and cold cuts will only enhance your wine tasting experience. Oh, and don’t worry if your kids aren’t old enough to drink wine. There will be plenty of things for them to do on this adventure without the wine!  

Chapter Three: Rome 

Day Eight  

After a quick breakfast at your hotel, you will get into a car driven by a private driver. Your driver will take you to the train station in Florence. Your family will board the train to Rome to begin the third chapter of your memory book for your vacation in Italy.  

Once you arrive in Rome, you will check into your hotel and then have the afternoon to relax or go out exploring. I recommend finding some gelato and indulging in it during your free time.  

Day Nine 

You will need to get up early on this first full day in Rome. The early wake up time will be worth it though to gain access to Vatican City before it opens to the public. This is an excellent time to wander around the Sistine Chapel without the crowds.  

From there, you will go to the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s Basilica, and at the end, St. Peter’s Square.  

After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Rome, you will head out with an expert driver to see other attractions in Rome. The first stop will be the Roman Forum. Next is the Colosseum, Piazza Venezia, Circus Maximus, and Aventine Hill.  

Day Ten 

Today is your last full day in Rome, so you will want to make the best of it to fill chapter three of your memory book. Your private driver will take you to all the remaining must-see sights in Rome.  

A few of the stops you make will include the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Fountain of the Barcaccia, the Pantheon, and Piazza Navona.  

Lunch and the entire afternoon will be yours after the tour. Take this time to grab a few more family photos and revisit your favorite sights in the city.  

Day Eleven 

Your time in Rome, and the rest of Italy, has come to an end. After breakfast at your hotel, a driver will take your family to the airport in Rome for your flight home.  

These three chapters in your memory book will have filled up quickly during this family vacation in Italy. It will be up to you to continue adding more chapters to your memory book in the future. And one of the best ways to do that is to continue planning family vacations!

Experience an Amazing Vacation in Alaska in 8 Days with Your Family 

Day One: Anchorage 

Day one of your family vacation in Alaska will have you landing in Anchorage. Depending on the time you arrive, you may only have time to wander around the streets near your hotel. However, if you arrive early enough, you may be able to hike part of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail or wander through Chugach State Park.  

Day Two: Anchorage 

You will have more time to explore Anchorage as a family today. I recommend checking out the Alaska Native Heritage Center in the morning.  

In the afternoon, it will be time to head to Palmer for an Alaskan Reindeer Farm experience. You will see plenty of reindeer, moose, bison, and alpacas during your visit. Your family’s favorite part though will be entering a pen with one of the reindeer to feed and pet them. Oh, I forgot…You will also be able to get kisses from Rocky and Lucy. These moose love to give kisses!  

Grab those photos! You are going to want to frame these pictures when you get home! Maybe even use them for next year’s holiday cards.  

Day Three: Seward 

Day three of your family vacation in Alaska will have you driving to Seward. Along the way, you will see the Kenai Peninsula. Stop at the Kenai River to see if any bears are on the shore trying to catch salmon.  

Another stop you will want to make is in Girdwood. This small town has a tram you can ride to see the sights. A visit to the local brewery will have you enjoying a pint or two. Or you can go for a dog sled ride on a glacier during your visit. I always choose the latter. I can’t seem to resist the sled dog puppies!  

Day Four: Seward 

A day out on a boat may be exactly what your family needs at this point of your vacation in Alaska. This is an Alaskan fishing adventure through Kenai Fjords National Park. This is a full-day trip. So, be prepared to be out on the water for at least eight hours.  

Day Five: Talkeetna 

Your family will be more than happy to sleep in after an entire day out on the water fishing. So let them and enjoy a little extra slumber yourself. Once you are all awake and have had a good breakfast, you can begin the drive to Talkeetna.  

Day Six: Talkeetna 

You may be ready to relax today, but I recommend taking one of the flightseeing trips offered here in Talkeetna. These flightseeing adventures are the perfect way to see Denali from a different perspective.  

When you are not up in the air, wander around this charming town. It is said that this area was used as inspiration for the television series, Northern Exposure.  

Day Seven: Denali National Park 

This entire day will be spent seeing the best Denali National Park has to offer. You will board a tour bus for this family adventure. Your driver will take you through sixty plus miles of this park. Along the way, you will see all types of native wildlife.  

Hopefully it will be a clear day when you visit. If it is, you will stop at the Stony Hill Overlook to see Denali from the base all the way to the summit.  

Day Eight: Anchorage 

Day eight is your last full day of vacation in Alaska. This means you will need to drive back to Anchorage from Denali. I recommend getting an early start, so you have more time to check out the remaining few attractions your family missed in Anchorage.  

Then after a good night’s sleep, you will all be more than ready to board the plane back home in the morning.  

There are so many other things your family can do while on vacation in Alaska. We will discuss many of them, as I am personalizing your family’s itinerary for your Alaskan vacation.

Experience an Amazing Vacation in Colorado Springs with Your Family

Day One: Colorado Springs 

The first day of your family vacation will be spent flying to Colorado Springs. If you arrive early enough, your family will have time to wander around and explore. And if you caught a later flight, you will still get to use some of the amenities at the hotel before going to bed.  

Day Two: Garden of the Gods 

Today’s family adventure will be hiking through the Garden of the Gods. This hike is usually five miles long. However, there are shorter or longer hikes you can take. During your journey, you will see amazing red rock formations, as well as stunning views.  

You will also learn the history of this land and why it is considered sacred.  

Day Three: Garden of the Gods 

Your family will have only seen a small part of Garden of the Gods during your hike. So, today you will all get to climb into a jeep to see it from a different perspective. You will see popular landmarks like Helen Hunt Falls, as well as some of the secluded areas. The last stop of the day will be Seven Falls.  

Day Four: Pioneers Museum 

Pioneers Museum was opened in 1896. Since then, it has collected and preserved items that share the cultural history of this area. The exhibits share the history of Colorado Springs, the life of Helen Hunt Jackson, and stories of beads, blankets, and buffalo.  

You won’t need to spend all day at this museum. But a few hours will give you a glimpse into how Colorado Springs has evolved over the years.  

Day Five: Colorado Springs 

Your family vacation in Colorado Springs will be coming to an end when you wake up this morning. It will be time to head back home and the hustle and bustle of life. But now that you have conquered one long weekend vacation, you know it is possible to squeeze a few in each year. After all, they are great for making memories with your family!
