We decided for our 20th wedding anniversary to return to Ireland, but celebrate it with our kids and parents. Because we were traveling with a multigenerational group, we decided moving around every other day from hotel to hotel like we did 20 years ago was not practical. For this trip, we opted to do day trips from hotels in two regions. Traveling during the week of Thanksgiving meant chilly weather, but the trade-off was fewer crowds than in the summer months.

For our first trip to Europe as a family of four (parents and teenagers age 13&16) we wanted the best of both worlds: To enjoy time as a family with self-paced days to ourselves, but also touring with a group so we could enjoy someone else being the tour director. We did not want to rent a car, another benefit of traveling with a group. With Tauck, not only did they have exciting activities, we had some really incredible behind-the-scenes experiences. The hotels on our Tauck tour were all five-star luxury accommodations. This is certainly a highlight of booking with Tauck.

I consider my family social and we enjoy meeting new people. A highlight was connecting with the other members of the group. It was admittedly a surprise bonus part of traveling with a Tauck, built-in friends for our kids!

We decided to extend our stay on the front and back end of the tour to make the most of our time in Europe. In total, we were gone for 15 days. The Tauck tour was eight days in the middle. Tauck's land tours are known for their small group sizes, which average 15–24 guests, and are designed to allow travelers to experience destinations up close. Tauck is all-inclusive. Meaning your meals, excursions, accommodations, transportation and tips are all included.

I have never considered myself a "cruise person"...but the adults-only all-inclusive approach on Virgin Voyage has made me a believer! For my first experience at sea, I'm so glad it was a Virgin Cruise onboard the Scarlet Lady. This short four night/five day mini vacation is the perfect mom escape, gal pal getaway, milestone birthday celebration group trip, singles adventure, or romantic couple's getaway.

Grab your besties, pack the carry on, and get ready for an elevated cruise experience! Four nights not enough? Virgin has itineraries to suit longer trips including the Caribbean, Mediterranean, UK, Asia and Australian offerings.

Embarking on a post-Christmas adventure, our family of four ventured to the electric heart of America: New York City! With our teenagers in tow, we discovered a blend of culture, art and history that had us ready to book our next trip. From exploring iconic landmarks like Times Square and the Statue of Liberty to catching our very first Broadway show, our itinerary was a whirlwind of excitement and bonding moments. New York City will forever hold a special place in our hearts, where we created unforgettable memories as a family, in the city that never sleeps.

Nestled along the rugged coast of Maine, Bar Harbor is a picturesque destination that offers a wealth of experiences for multigenerational families. With its stunning natural beauty, outdoor adventures, charming downtown and cultural attractions, Bar Harbor has something for everyone.

The Sphere, the newest venue addition to Sin City, is nothing short of a futuristic sensory experience. We traveled to Las Vegas to see U2 on the last night of their Sphere residency for a birthday celebration and loved it! You can check concert lineups on their website.
