Vacationing with your family is one of the best times you can have. But deciding where to go may be more difficult than you may think if your children have one plan and you envision another. Compromising is oftentimes the best way to ensure that everyone has a great time. If your kids want to go to someplace warm with beaches and large waves, a vacation to Hawaii may be the perfect way to spend your vacation. There is plenty to do with your children during the day, and plenty for you to do at night. You will be able to explore the Hawaiian culture, see exotic plants and learn a lot about the animal and plant life of the ocean.

Traveling to Kenya is another place where you and your children will be able to explore new cultures and learn more about animals. Your children will enjoy exploring the rainforests and camping outdoors. These vacations usually cost less than going to other places and with guided tours, your family will learn and experience a lot during the trip.

Another popular tourist destination is Costa Rica. On this holiday, you will be able to see inactive volcanoes, enjoy stories told by locals, and spend the day on the beach. This is a trip for families who have children of varying ages as they will each find something unusual for them to remember the trip by. You will be able to enjoy the food of Costa Rica as well as their famous coffee.

If you don't want to take your children to the beach and you want to try something entirely different, you can rent a villa in Spain or Italy and take your children to see ancient ruins, historic architecture, and many other famous landmarks. You will enjoy beautiful views of Tuscany, delicious food, and be able to visit some of the most famous museums in the world. This vacation is meant for older children who can appreciate the landscape and have a good time roaming around the countryside.

When planning a vacation with children, you should keep in mind their ages, what their interests are, and how well your children behave on longer trips. While trips to Italy will cost more than a trip to Costa Rica, if you have always wanted to go, then why not plan a great getaway with your family. Since most families can only afford to go one large vacation each year, ask your children where they would like to go and create a budget. While they may not get their wish, you should be able to find a vacation destination that they will be excited about.

Be sure to plan a vacation that is kid friendly and adult friendly as it is important that you have a wonderful time as well. Choose destinations you may not have been to so you can truly enjoy exploring a new place with your family.
