An all-inclusive getaway in the sun and surf sounds like a perfect escape to get kids through the end of the school year—and it may be more affordable than you think.

The Caribbean and Mexico are awash with all-inclusive resorts, but only some have an atmosphere that is appropriate for all ages. There are kid-friendly chains like Divi Resorts that are known for their G-rated focus, family-friendly accommodations, and fantastic children's programming.

 

Beaches, with locations in Jamaica and Turks and Caicos, and Club Med, with locations in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, are two other resorts that have children's programming and facilities that make an all-inclusive getaway appealing to parents.

If your family loves America's favorite pastime, then a vacation to watch your favorite Major League teams during the spring training season is an unbeatable vacation. Spring training is a time where you can get up close and personal with your favorite players since the venues are small and the players want to interact with fans. Prices are lower than regular games, and autograph-hunting is the best. 

 

The group of teams known as the Cactus League play around Phoenix, Arizona, while the Grapefruit League plays in stadiums throughout Central Florida. The spring training season begins in February and usually goes through March all the way up to Opening Day.
