It needs to be kid friendly, 3 1/2 yr and 6 mos. I am currently thinking of Texas, Alabama, Florida(beaches) or Kentucky, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Minnesota. I want to hold off on the whole Disney experience until my boys get a little older. I live in the St. Louis, Mo area and I am not opposed to driving or even flying t the destination. You can respond here or PM me. Lets here what you come up with! Thanks in advance. Dan 98 Contour SE, Zetec Powered, ATX Silverstars, Ghetto caps

Right now I wouldn't mind being there. It's a lot better than the -35 wind chill temps. we had last night. The summers are nice and pleasant (usually) in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado (Rocky Mtn. areas) if you like the "backcountry hiking/touring". If you have a bit more money, and don't mind traveling outside the country, there are some very nice places. I'm usually out of the country once a month or so, and I know some pretty good places if your into just relaxing on the beach or hiking/siteseeing. 02 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE, FULLY LOADED Old car- 99 SE Sport ATX w/ SVT body kit (for sale...asking $4,200 OBO), nicely modded, high-flow exhaust y-pipe back and KKM. 95K, but 95% are interstate highway miles back and forth to college everyday.

Iberostar Bavarro Suites - Dominican Republic, Punta Cana - great family place In the US maybe consider 1. Sandpiper - Florida All of the above have available babysitting and kids camp. When we go to them we utilize the babysitting at night so we can have some adult time AFTER the kids are already asleep. And we use the camp for maybe an hour a day so we can do somethings that simply cannot be done with the kids. YES, I go on vacation with my kids to spend time with them, but 24/7 is difficult and makes a "vacation" less like being away somewhere and more like just taking time off of work and staying home and doing day trips. Just some thoughts. Good Luck btw - We will be at the Iberostar at the end of Feb! 1998 CSVT Silver Frost #1119 of 6535 dob 5-20-97 custom seating and dash classics: 1968 Lancia Fulvia Rallye 1.3 1971 Audi 100LS 2 door 1983 BMW 320i Other horses in the stable: 2004 Mercury Monterey 1994 Mercedes E320 Wagon

Key West is very nice. The hotels in Key West are pricey but its a little better on some of the keys.
