7 Family Vacations You Can Afford

Traveling with kids comes with its own set of challenges. Cost shouldn't be one of them. Vacationing with children can be the best and the hardest thing in the world. The upside? Experiencing new wonders through their eyes. But then there are the meltdowns, the exhaustion, the endless stream of “Are we there yet?” With little ones in tow, a delayed flight, a lost bag, or a too-small hotel room can feel disastrous. Which is why you need destinations that are convenient, offer heaps of activities for kids, and, most of all, won’t break the bank. The North Cascades Institute’s Environmental Learning Center, located on the shores of Diablo Lake in the center of North Cascades National Park, is not only a place to learn about conservation and stewardship but also a great getaway to relax and have fun. Check out where the North Cascades Institute was featured here.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
