Looking to do a week and a half vacation this summer with two toddlers and a pregnant wife. We've done (southern) California and Arizona multiple times and not looking to repeat if I can help it. Any other ideas, including Europe, for a chilled warm weathered kid friendly vacation?
Thanks!
On the East coast, New Hampshire is not overly warm, but has nice summer weather. It has kosher food and minyan and plenty of (kid friendly) activities.
My favorite cause: cssy.org

Thanks. I'd like to use my many Marriott certs and/or Hyatt points so would love somewhere with good hotel redemptions.

We did Amsterdam for a week with a 1 year old and are attempting a week in London with a 2 year old.

A few European cities have eruvs. Depending on the kids, could be fun to do a city or 2.

If looking at Europe, Amsterdam + Antwerp.

Or maybe Hawaii.

I'm afraid it'll be too much traveling, & the weather un August is supposed to be rainy & humid

If looking at Europe, Amsterdam + Antwerp.
 
I actually looked into Amsterdam last summer, but seems like you need a maximum of 2 days there. What is there to do in Antwerp?

Maximum time of 2 days in Amsterdam is not true. I spent a week there. In retrospect it was maybe 1day too long. Yould could go on a day trip to Haarlem/Rotterdam/the Hauge of elsewhere in Belgium.

With a kid, unless you are lighting fast you can take your time and fill 4 days easily. Add in a shabbos and a day trip or 2 and it's a week.

Sounds like it might work. Did you write a TR of your trip?

Looking for ideas on sunny warm place to visit (excl FL, CA, AZ, Mexico, Costa Rica, Hawaii) mid January for a week with 2.5 year old? Dont need kosher food but flying time must be less then 15 hrs.

Would like to do a 7 day Caribbean cruise, but hate the idea of spending 150k chase UR points for a cruise costing only $2000 as it’s a terrible return.

My flying time limitation excludes: Philippines, Thailand, Australia, Maldives just to name a few.
