Valentines Day getaways - for families

Ritz Carlton is a luxury chain that knows how to combine both "ritz" and kids: for example, through the opulent lobby of the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island trudge little kiddies in beachwear. And you'll find "Ritz Kids" at many properties.

The Ritz Carlton Amelia Island, for ex., (in northeast Florida), has a supervised kids program for ages 5 through 12, and a Kids Night Out program on weekends.

On the other side of the country the opulent Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay is perched on the scenic coast of central California, 40 minutes from San Francisco. On weekends, kids can do a full or half day program of activities, that might include flying kites on the bluff, or a tide pool outing; Kids Night Out gives kids a special dinner while Mom and Dad wine and dine.

Many other Ritz Carlton properties offer Ritz Kids, too.
