With summer nearly half way over, now is the perfect time to start seriously considering your summer vacation plans before the opportunity comes and goes. Thankfully, Vacations Made Easy offers a valuable collection of general information in regards to hundreds of destinations throughout the United States and Canada, as well as the ability to browse and book a wealth of activities, tours, hotels and complete vacation packages. Even if you're at a complete loss as to where to take the family this year, we have a few ideas to help get the ball rolling before it is too late.
Branson, MO — Complete with engaging theme parks, live entertainment options and a variety of both educational and unique museums, Branson is a veritable hotspot for family travel throughout the summer months. From taking in the sights, sounds and tastes of Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede to beating the heat at White Water, the nearly endless list of things to do ensures that even the most conflicting family can find more than enough to keep their time lively.
Nashville, TN — Country music fans will find that few destinations come close to Nashville in terms of musical heritage. As the home of the Grand Ole Opry, it can be argued that Nashville is the official capital of country, but there's much more than just the Opry to keep fans entertained. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Ryman Auditorium both offer exceptional looks into country's past; though travelers will also find numerous general summer activities including the Nashville Zoo.
Orlando, FL — Those looking to spend their summer vacation immersed in thrilling excitement won't find a more appeasing spot than Orlando. Surrounded by theme parks including Disney World, SeaWorld Orlando, Silver Springs and Universal Studios, the options for active summer fun seem to never end. Travelers will also find a wide selection of quality dinner shows and unique sightseeing opportunities to round out a memorable summer experience.
Gatlinburg, TN — The warm weather of summer only stays around temporarily, and Gatlinburg offers a dream setting to enjoy it in. Nestled at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains, Nantahala river rafting and Smoky Mountain horseback riding are every bit as viable as visiting the neighboring Biltmore Estates or enjoying the area's large selection of quality live shows.
