My vote would be one of the northeastern states too like Vermont. And since
you come that far north, you might as well take the time to pop over to Canada to either Montreal or Quebec City as well and make your trip more of an international Christmas vacation. Clint Free Spirit Gallery http://www.FreeSpiritGallery.ca Exquisite Inuit Eskimo & Native Art wrote in message ... I'm looking ahead to next year and thinking of where our family of 2 adults and 2 teens can spend Christmas. What are some of your favorite US holiday destinations other than beaches (we live in FL) ? |

Try New York City for Christmas, it is absolutely beautiful. Check
out a Broadway play that day too. It will be an experience you will never forget. There is a website I came across recently that gave me tourist attractions as well. Maybe you can find something there that will interest you. http://www.takingatrip.com Hope this helps |

Yes, I 4th the Williamsburg idea! The cool thing about Christmas here is that you and your kids get to experience life in the 18th Century, including good, bad, and holiday traditions. The decorations are awesome. Around Thanksgiving, stunning handmade wreaths and natural garland go up all over the historic area (and there are over 500 buildings). The wreaths have lemons, apples, pineapples ... and some whimsical items, such as playing cards ... well here, go to this link to see slideshows: 'http://www.history.org/christmas/mu...shows.html#decs' (http://www.history.org/christmas/mul...hows.html#decs) I was raised here and still learn something new every visit. I also work for RentingResorts.com, which provides upscale lodging at all of Williamsburg's beautiful timeshare resorts -- $150 - $200 a night for a 1,200 sq.ft. 2 bedroom with full kitchen and access to all recreational facilities and activities (sorry for the commercial, but this is a great option versus a hotel room, especially for families). Anyway, come mid-December, CW goes back and puts up fresh new wreaths and greenery so that the decorations can be enjoyed all the way through New Year's. It really takes your breath away to walk the streets of Colonial Williamsburg and just take in all the beauty and splendor. There are other places that kids can see an old-fashioned Christmas before it was so commercialized, of course, but only here can they also walk the same streets as Washington, Jefferson, Henry, and others who put everything on the line for what they believed in ... and ended up creating the greatest nation in the world. This is where it all began! If you come, be sure to buy a ticket so you can enter the buildings - that is where the real education, excitement and wow factor is. Get the one that includes the Governor's Palace, which it is the highlight of most peoples' visit. Abby Aldrich is a wonderful museum anytime, but especially at Christmas. Get a gingerbread man from the Raleigh Tavern Bakery, and be sure to tour the Maze. And don't miss the beloved short film "The Story of a Patriot" at the Visitors Center (where you should start your first day anyway). It is one the kids - and you - will remember for a lifetime. -- LorenRR ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LorenRR's Profile: http://travelforums.org/forums/member.php?userid=170 View this thread: http://travelforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=16523 This post was submitted via http://www.TravelForums.org |
