10. The 10 Best of Everything: Families
This National Geographic publication is a compendium from its previous 10-best lists related to families. You can scope out the 10 best children’s museums, the 10 best family art camps, the 10 most famous road trips, even the 10 best reunion locations (Vegas isn’t listed but you might be surprised at the places that are). The book is an excellent resource for families of all ages, budgets, travel preferences and tastes. Author Susan Magsamen, an award-winning educator and expert in hands-on experiential learning, interviewed hundreds of families and researched thousands of places to compile her “must-see” destinations from California to Costa Rica. Whether you want to stay close to home or zip around the globe – there’s a “see the world” section for jet-setters – there are plenty of ideas for creating great family memories.
