Vacation destinations for multiple generations
Plan your next vacation with extended family in mind. Here are three ideas that will appeal to every generation.
Montana’s national parks: Montana’s national parks provide an extraordinary window into nature’s glory. And there are few places on the planet as stunning as Glacier National Park. Located in a rugged corner of Montana near the Canadian border, the iconic Many Glacier Hotel lures visitors from around the world eager to see the disappearing glaciers, hike aside azure lakes and catch a glimpse of wildlife. To the south, Yellowstone is a nature lover’s nirvana.
Visit Boston: If your clan craves an urban adventure, splash into Beantown aboard a history-filled, narrated Boston Duck Tour. Take the sports fans in your crew to Fenway Park for old-timey baseball stories. Visit the Franklin Park Zoo and stroll through Boston Common, a 50-acre green space that once served as a cow pasture for residents. Spend time on the historic Freedom Trail, where you can tour Paul Revere’s home. Paddle on the Charles River or consider a visit to Harbor Islands National Park for eco-minded, sea-faring fun.
A skip-gen stay: During the past few years, grandparents were forced to forgo time with their grandkids. And their parents were often doing double-duty managing work and school from home. Plan a skip-gen vacation where parents get a break. Grandparents: Are you a veteran? Did you grow up inspired by music? Did your neighborhood influence the person you are today? Consider a visit to a war memorial, take in a small concert or stop by the old stomping grounds.
