Best Overall Stay: Washington Jefferson Hotel
Yellowstone National Park, WY

Picturesque and quaint, a picnic in Martha’s Vineyard is a must. Bring a bottle of bubbly for you and your partner while your kids play in the waves.

Eat among some of the oldest trees in the U.S.! After a long hike you can re-boot with snacks from the food court in the camp. Just don’t forget to BYO-blanket!
