As a busy parent, you need a vacation — like, yesterday. Of course, family travel comes with far more complications than simply hitting the road solo. You need a kid-friendly destination, the right clothing and supplies (for everyone!), and a pantry's worth of your family's favorite snacks. And don't forget about the entertainment options to keep everyone occupied during the journey. 

It's a lot to juggle, but it'll be worth it. With careful planning, you can enjoy a memorable family vacation that will leave you feeling recharged instead of frazzled. In this handy guide, we highlight great places for family vacations across the United States. We also share some of our top tips for planning and packing for your trip and the best bags to stay organized (and sane) throughout it all.
