Staycation. I was very surprised by how well it went over and how much fun it was.
Every night we ate dinner at a fancier restaurant. Took prepackaged store bought lunches along. (Regular cereal & milk breakfast). Kept vacation touring hours (early to rise). Every day we did touristy things that mostly only tourists do in our area. Bought souvenirs.

My husband and I really enjoyed Savannah, Georgia. We went in the summer, though, and it was oppressively hot and humid. Was told the winter months are much better. We don’t have children at home anymore, so I can’t speak on what you can do with little kids. There are no kosher restaurants. You can put in an order for kosher catered food.

Best vacation was the Scottish highlands but I live in the UK so it’s a 1-hour flight.

Charleston, SC is a wonderful out-of-the-box winter destination, featuring daily minyan though extremely limited food options. San Diego and Palm Springs are also great choices. Vancouver could also work, though I've never been there in the winter.

Is Charleston warm in the winter?

We loved it! We stayed in a nearby city’s hotel (think West Hartford), went to Kidcity museum which is so cool and my kids LOVED, maybe went to some playgrounds? The hotel was empty so the kids went swimming, and we drove into Waterbury for the pizza store, shopping and fleishig place. We had a great time!

Ok, yeah there are definitely things to do in Connecticut and there are suite hotels near Waterbury with pool, but I just was confused when you wrote Waterbury. There is also kosher food in New Haven and near Bradley airport (I think) and Stamford.

I love going to these parks in the winter because there are much less tourists, you have more freedom to travel where you want, and the red rocks just look better in snow. You probably won't find any minyanim, but tell the men in your family to wake up at sunrise and daven looking out to the high desert... I guarantee they'll have a more transformative davening than just being in a shul. |
This seems so our type! Tx

It's not Florida hot, but it was in the 60s and sunny when we were there, which was just fine for us.
