Full of history and beautiful views, Manchester, Vermont, has become a popular place to visit for travelers of all ages.

The best of both worlds: It's not far from the base of the Great Smoky Mountains, while bearing the distinction of being a bustling, mid-sized city with plenty to offer.

“How about Pasco County?” My friend wrote. “It’s part of Florida’s ‘Nature Coast,’ just 30 miles north of Tampa. My own family had a blast there recently, and there’s no shortage of water fun!”

Destination: Bardstown. It’s Kentucky’s second-oldest city—settled in 1780—a cozy, quaint town with well-preserved homes, churches, and businesses that pay homage to its storied past.

My husband and I decided before we even chose a destination that it was important for our family to disconnect from the distractions of everyday life to really connect as a family; hence, the no cell phone rule.
