Hi Reader!

Goodness—spring is a roller coaster, isn’t it?! One day it’s 80 and sunny, and the next, it’s 30 and snowing. You never quite know what you’re going to get! 🎢☀️🌨

BUT, despite the craziness, spring is also an amazing time to watch plants and flowers bloom and see the beauty of the outdoors come back to life! 🌷🌳🦆

It’s also the perfect season for a quick family getaway—whether you’re craving warm sunshine, outdoor fun, or a unique adventure. (Just make sure to check the forecast before you go—you might need shorts and a winter coat all in one weekend! 😉)

So, if you’re looking for ideas for a spring weekend getaway, here are five family-friendly destinations I’ve visited and would absolutely recommend! ⬇️

​

🎡 Branson, MO – Silver Dollar City is a must for families, and the food there is incredible! While you're there, don't forget to tour Marvel Cave—it's a unique adventure right beneath the theme park.

🌳 Tulsa, OK – The Gathering Place is an amazing park where kids can burn off energy and have a blast! Plan to spend at least half a day here, and consider packing a picnic or grabbing lunch right at the park.

If you have extra time, check out the Discovery Lab science museum next door. For a fun food stop, head to Mother Road Market, a lively food hall with great options for families.

​

🌊 San Diego, CA – Our favorite museum here is the USS Midway—it’s an unforgettable experience for kids and adults alike!

We also love spending time in Balboa Park, where there’s so much to explore, from gardens to museums to open play areas.

⛰ Great Smoky Mountains, TN – Gatlinburg’s Anakeesta offers stunning views, fun activities, and a treetop adventure course.

Over in Pigeon Forge, The Island is a great spot for family entertainment, dining, and even a ride on the giant Ferris wheel!

🏖 30A, FL – Gorgeous beaches, charming coastal towns, and plenty of bike-friendly paths make this an amazing family getaway.

Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, 30A delivers. Seaside is my favorite spot here!

Looking for an easy, fun-filled trip with the kids? These destinations are great for both road trips and quick flights!

I hope these family getaway spots inspire you to take a weekend adventure and embrace the beauty of spring—crazy weather and all! 💕
