United States of America
The land where anything is possible. The land of opportunities. The place, where dreams come true. USA is a great country with exciting history, beautiful landscapes and endless possibilities to “make it happen”. It is also a great place to visit, if you are still on the hunt for great deals for your family vacation and you are not located in North America.
With its 50 states and nearly 319 million people living there, America is the literal definition of diversity in all aspects possible – ethnic, religious, subcultural, technological, scientific and spiritual.
The different states of the country are hiding different destinations that can make a simple family vacation an unforgettable experience.
Family trips always involve some sort of group activities – visiting amusement parks, going to a live event, taking a walk to some of the iconic museums or just hiking in the nature. With children on board, the “wild, wild west” is not always a good idea. With hiking comes a great deal of troubles – proper equipment, transportation, food, clothing and last, but most certainly not least – the kids themselves. So here are three interesting and exciting ideas of how to make your USA trip a wonderful adventure for both children and adults and will save you some worries.
Anaheim, California
The sunny state of California is never asleep. The activities there are numerous. Probably the most iconic spot there, that still electrifies both kids and parents, is celebrating its diamond anniversary of 60 years Disneyland Park. Originally named Disneyland, the amusement park is located in the beautiful city of Anaheim, which is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. It opens up back in 1955, and is the first out of now six attraction resorts across the world. It holds eight “lands” in total, including the Mickey’s Toontown, Adventureland and Fantasyland.
What’s so great about Disneyland? It reminds us that it’s never too late to become the heroes and princesses of our own fairy tales.
Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore, located in the state of Maryland, is the largest independent city on the territory of the United States of America. Holding decades worth of history, this city is now home to 2.7 million people. There are few worth seeing spots here, but aside of the famous Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore has few more landmarks, and the National Aquarium is being one of them.
