Spring break is here this week and somehow I missed the boat on this one. It kind of creeped up on me – so needless to say – I don’t have much by way of plans. Once you have a family, a lazy, unplanned vacation becomes a thing of the past.
Nothing is worse and more stressful than a houseful of bored kids. Don’t you just cringe when you hear “Mom, what can I do now? – I’m bored.” Especially when there are only about 500 things on my own to-do list. I would love to hear your parenting tips on managing bored kids – that don’t include tv, Playstation etc.
Anyhow, the point of all this – is that summer is around the corner. And if I don’t get moving then spring break will just repeat itself. Family beach vacations are a fantastic way to keep kids of all ages busy and parents seem to enjoy them too. Maybe I am dreaming a bit too much about sun and surf right now.
The problem is that when it comes to planning family beach vacations, I tend to revisit the same destinations that we have been to before. I am not one for adventurous. So tell me, what places have you found that awesome for family beach vacations? Details, please! Do share your parenting tips!

I have found Ft. Lauderdale to be very family friendly. Years ago, it was thought of as a “party” beach. Now, it’s back into family territory. There is an area just south of Ft. Lauderdale Beach called Hollywood Beach. This is a nice stretch of sand. There is a boardwalk with various restaurants, shops, and hotels. My family enjoys this beach.
