It's awesome out there and I can't wait to take my kiddos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720939 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 15:42:21 +0000 lemondrop 2720939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yellowstone is a TON of driving, so if car sick kids, you may want to look into other places. We easily logged 40 hours in the car going around Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks over a week. </p> <p> Grand Canyon is still a pretty long drive from Vegas/Flagstaff, it's a very full day or an overnight to make it more manageable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720802 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 12:31:28 +0000 tequiero21 2720802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about San Diego?

Maybe SF and work your way up to Yosemite? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720302 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 09:28:58 +0000 littlebug 2720302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bryce Canyon is awesome, as is Joshua Tree. Personally, Nashville is near the top of my travel bucket list. I've heard such great things about the city and the music scene there. I've also always wanted to visit San Antonio and/or Austin, TX. So, throwing some non-national parks into the mix for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720300 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 09:26:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2720300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason my parents took us to Yosemite over Yellowstone as kids. I think there are more family friendly hikes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720286 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 08:58:58 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2720286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I was there in summer and it was absolutely amazing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720285 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 08:58:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2720285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@azjax: alas both kids get really carsick! i do love monterey, big sur and tahoe though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720284 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 08:57:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2720284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: the pictures my mom has from there (there was still snow) are truly stunning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720282 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 08:55:17 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2720282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bryce and Zion aren't too horribly far from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and are amazing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720279 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 08:42:11 +0000 azjax 2720279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grand Canyon is awesome, you could also visit Joshua Tree or Mammoth if you want to stay in the SoCal region. If you're willing to go up the coast, you could hit Big Sur and Monterey. Yosemite and Tahoe are awesome also, but a much further drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720275 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 08:36:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2720275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for Yellowstone - you can hit up Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons as well when there - beautiful!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-vacation-in-the-us#post-2720263 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 08:30:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2720263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I've really been wanting to do these kinds of vacations too...

Seeing you are coming from surf and sand, you won't need another beachy vacation!

We'll be spending most of the time in New York and Los Angeles (Harry Potter World) visiting friends and family.</p> <p>But we'd like to squeeze in a new to us destination as well. I was thinking about Antelope Valley/Grand Canyon because I've never been!</p> <p>Any other good ideas for a family trip? </p>
