Every summer, my husband and I love taking our kids somewhere new for vacation. We believe that habitually going the same places every year gets boring and when it comes to vacation we want to be anything but routine. This year we chose Tennessee as our destination for “new” fun. It is remote, far away from where we live, and has all the components for the great time we were looking for. Wanting to add a little spontaneity to our trip we didn’t book a hotel or anything in advance. We packed our bags, hooked up the GPS, loaded up the van and took off for our Tennessee adventure!

Whether you’re banking on the predictions of a small group of famous groundhogs or looking to meteorologists for a glimpse of warmer weather, one thing’s certain: it’s never too early to start planning for a wonderful family vacation! Spring and summer will be here before you know it, so beat the crowds and book your next adventure. For a destination with style, class and bucket loads of fun, be sure to secure the ultimate family vacation in Destin, Florida, where you’ll find everything your family needs to both enjoy the warm weather and soak in the fun, fun, fun!
