Where to Go
By Teresa Plowright, About.com Guide to Family Vacations
It's a mighty big world out there, and a big question to ponder: where to go on the next family vacation?
Let's tackle the question in two ways: by Region, with suggestions for many regions in the U.S. and also the wider world; and by Time of Year, as so many of our family getaways are seasonal and -- for most of us -- dictated by school breaks.

Ideas by REGION - the US
Maybe you want suggestions within your own region, so you can pile the kids in the car and do a drive-to vacation. Maybe now's the time to visit a region you've always wanted to explore.
Tropical Getaways
If you live in a cold clime, you may need an emergency climate change from ice and snow to warm sea breezes. But even people who live in beautiful climates still feel the siren call of tropical getaways, especially at those ultra-convenient all-inclusive resorts.
The Wide World
Perhaps this is the year to fly far far away, for an unforgettable odyssey.

Where to Go for Summer Holidays, Spring Break, Winter Getaways...
Spring break, summer vacation, holiday season -- find inspirations for these peak travel times for families. You'll find ideas for other times of year as well, either for weekend getaways, or longer trips for those not tied to a school schedule. Fall, for instance, can be a great month in Europe, and is also a time when special promotions and activities aim to attract families with preschoolers.
