Anyone can recommend a good vacation idea in the end of Jun for a couple with 3 kids under 4 years old.
From Sunday till Thursday, could be flying or driving.
Kosher food preferred Minyan a must. Would love to be able to use points for nice hotels.
Already did:
LA, Rhode Island and Niagara.
Thanks!

No humidity means that even 80s don't feel anything like NY 70s.

-1. 70s w humidity isn't bad at all (and I'd prefer it to a dry 80s). It's the 80s where there is a difference

Ok. 90s in Denver is better than 80s in NY. Or any other degree. My point was CO summer weather On average is way more comfortable than in NY, and is rarely "too hot" that the OP should consider not visiting.

Looking for most interesting/enjoyable place to visit with wife and newborn for 1.5 weeks in June.  Trying to maximize points, have ~180K Chase UR and ~150K SPG available.  Leaving from LAX.  We've done Israel, Hawaii, Italy, Switzerland, and Paris.

Current possibilities: 1) Europe - Amsterdam & Prague 2) Asia - Hong Kong / China / Singapore / Thailand or combination of two if possible.

Any thoughts what would be the best trip? Other options? Thanks in advance!

Any ideas for a place for a place to use a marriott 7 night cat 1-5 hotel voucher in August? I have a wife a 2 year old and an 8 month old. We like outdoor beauty places like national parks, not disney stuff. Basically a hotel that has a good concentration of outdoor beauty within reasonable distance (we would be stuck in the same place all week). BH kids are good travelers. I have been all over most of the US (47/50 States excluding OK AR, AK). PR is out due to zika....? Any ideas would be appreciated.
