Family
Vacation
Ideas:
You'll
benefit
from
my
research
"Travel
has
always
given
me
enormous
satisfaction.
I've
visited
England
(my
homeland),
western
Canada
and
the
United
States
from
east
to
west.
Here
at
FamilyVacationIdeas4u.com,
I
will
share
with
you
some
great
destinations
and
tips
to
help
you
plan
and
get
the
most
out
of
your
next
family
vacation. "
Through
my
abilities
and
experience,
I'll
share
my
findings
with
you.
I am
an
award-winning
journalist
and
avid
photographer
who
loves
nature,
history,
camping
and
traveling
locally
and
to
areas
of
interest
across
the
country.
Travel Is In My Blood!
In 1990,
I took
time
off
from
my job as
senior
newspaper
reporter to travel
by
tent
trailer across the United States and Canada.
It
was
Exciting,
Inspiring
and
Wonderful!
During
the trip,
I gathered
information and photographed the fabulous scenery,
amazing
geological
formations,
nature,
historic
sites and special events along the
route.
Motoring from upper New York State to New Orleans, west
through Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, and north along the California coast
through Oregon and Washington State
was
the
most
fantastic
journey
of
my
life.
It
took
two
months,
thousands
of
miles,
reels
of
film
and...
I
wanted
more.
When
we
reached
Port
Angeles,
Washington
we
crossed the strait to
Vancouver Island,
and
spent
a
week
relaxing
in
the
lush
forests
and
touring
the
entire
island
from
top
to
bottom.
What
a
trip
that
was!
The
coastline
was
beautiful
and
seeing
my
first
bald
eagle
up
close
in
the
wild
was
a
thrill.
We headed east through the Okanagan Valley
where
we
camped
in
a
park
that
was
full
of
deer
and
tropical
flowers
including
some
of
the
most
exotic
orchids
I've
ever
seen
in
the
wild.
Of
course,
I
took
a
lot
of
photos.
From
there,
we
camped
in Banff
National
Park
where
it
snowed
in
June!
It
was
worth
it
just
to
have
toured
through
the
Rockies,
with
their
spectacular
views
and
unexpected
waterfalls.
Then,
it
was
on
to
Calgary and
back home
to Ontario.
That
was
just
one
of
many
trips
I've
taken,
but
I
must
say
it
was
definitely
the
most
extensive.
Any
one
of
the
places
we
visited
make
excellent
family
vacation
ideas.
I've seen a good portion of
my
home
province
and made numerous camping and motoring trips
to
see
and
photograph
the
rolling
hills,
waterfalls,
lakes,
wildflowers
and
rock
formations
on
Georgian
Bay.
Other trips have included jaunts to West
Point
in
New
York
State, through the Delaware Water Gap,
and along the Susquehana River in
Pennsylvania.
This
is
well
worth
the
tour
for
anyone
who
enjoys
amazing
views
and
numerous
photo
opportunities.
The
main
highway
that
follows
the
River
passes
through
some
awesome
historic
towns,
too.
If
you're
looking
for
family
vacation
ideas
that
are
educational,
this
historic
river
has
lots
to
offer.
I've
visited
Niagara
too
many
times
to
mention.
It
was
our
main
destination
when
my
parents
decided
we'd
go
on
an
outing.
It
was
the
most
popular
of
the
many
family
vacation
ideas
they
came
up
with.
These
trips
have
inspired
me
to
seek
more
great
destinations
and
out-of-the-way
routes
that
always
produce
unique
subjects
to
photograph,
like
the
battle
re-enactments,
agricultural
events,
historic
buildings,
country
fairs,
classic
car
shows
and,
of
course,
the
wonders
of
nature.
My
burning
desire
to
travel,
photograph
what
I
see
and
share
the
results
with
others
led
to
me
launch
The
Sundowner.
Prior
to
that,
I
produced
a
local
tourist
guide
focusing
on
events
and
interesting
sites
along
the
St.
Lawrence
River.
It
covered
history,
arts,
leisure
and
entertainment
in
the
area.
It
produced
a
good
assortment
of
family
vacation
ideas.
The
Sundowner
now
has
its
own
site
right
here,
which
is
dedicated
to
travel,
camping
and
touring
in
particular.
I'll
also
share
with
you
tips
on
how
to
take
great
photos
on
the
road
and
will
recommend
various
products
to
help
make
your
trip
enjoyable.
The
Sundowner
will provide weird, wacky and wonderful
destination ideas to
spark
new
family
vacation
ideas.
Thank you for
visiting. Come again soon!
I'm always adding new articles and books.
