Best Family Vacation Destinations by Erin

Okay, this is a broad list. But I wanted to start broad and then start to get more specific. For now, I'm looking for ideas for your favorite family vacation spot - young kids or older kids, beach or mountains, on a shoestring or luxury, all inclusive or not. What are your favorites and why? Or where have you had an overall good experience worthy of a recommendation.

I'd love more ideas, please add it here! (View 4 suggestions)

Northstar at Tahoe, California
http://www.northstarattahoe.com/?cmpid=PPC112141964

Skiing, snowboarding, cross country, skating, tubing in winter. Mountain biking, golf, hiking, lift rides in summer. Lodging, shopping and dining year-round.

Erin says: "Northstar is a great family friendly mountain. Obviously wonderful in ski season - great ski school and adult classes, fun village, and if you use VRBO or get a condo just outside the village, you can get a decent deal. Also tons of stuff to do in the summer. Something for all ages and a real focus on family."
