Planning a family vacation is never easy. Not only do you have to think of logistics like how best to get there, where to stay, and what to do while you're there, but picking your destination can be one of the toughest parts of the planning process. You have to select a location that everyone in your family can enjoy, including your picky eaters, your moody teenagers, and even your hard-to-impress tweens. But if you're trying to find a unique spot that's a break from the norm, we think you'll love this list from Livability.com. With everything from lakes in Texas to snow in Utah, there are family-friendly choices to suit every taste and budget. In fact, this list breaks down its recommended hot spots into five categories: family vacations, adventure cities, beach vacations, ski trips, and lake jaunts, with two city recommendations per category. As Ernest Hemingway once said, "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." So whatever your goal, happy planning, and even happier road-tripping!
