| 5 Easy Family Trips That Don't Require A Passport |
The end-of-school-year gauntlet is not for the weak. After a month of theme dressing and midday recitals, it’s OK if decision fatigue has gotten in the way of planning your family vacation. Keep it simple with these low-key domestic destinations that have something for everyone. Omni La Costa Resort & Spa is a sprawling, Spanish Mission-style oasis with plenty of space to roam. Located just north of San Diego in Carlsbad, California, it’s got the whole package: an award-winning spa and 18-hole golf courses, but also 100-foot water slides and a kids club. You can keep planning to a minimum: just book a day or two at Legoland (only 5 minutes away), then fill the rest of your trip with pool time, family-friendly programming, and meals at the resort’s many restaurants and cafés. |

| UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge |
A mountain escape for the whole family. This forested, 50-acre retreat in the San Bernardino Mountains offers something for kids of all ages, including a dedicated children’s park; lawn games like cornhole and bocce ball; a swimming pool and hot tub; and sand volleyball, tennis, and pickleball courts. Get some fresh air on a self-guided hike or jog around the grounds, then rest easy knowing that no one has to figure out dinner: both the Lodge dining rooms and North Shore Tavern offer family-friendly fare, with craft cocktails, mocktails, and local beer available. |

| Hotel Sorrento |
A timeless boutique hotel in Seattle’s First Hill dating back to 1909, with generously sized suites and proximity to the city’s major attractions like Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, and the waterfront. Whether you book for summer or fall, you’ll enjoy the temperate weather, walkability, and a quiet location that puts you close to downtown without being right in the mix. The hotel’s Italian restaurant, STELLA, is open from breakfast through dinner and features a charming garden patio for al fresco meals or aperitivo. |

| OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa |
If you’re feeling adventurous, this Big Island resort is a great way to experience Hawaii’s natural beauty — all within a direct flight from Los Angeles. The oceanfront setting means you'll be steps away from memorable activities like manta ray night snorkeling and sunset sailing, while the pool's waterslide is sure to be a hit with the kids. Best of all, the resort thoughtfully integrates Hawaiian culture into the guest experience, from historic tours of sacred sites to storytelling sessions at the Aloha Cultural Center. |

| H Hotel LAX |
The most challenging part of a family trip is getting from point A to point B. Located just minutes from LAX, this hotel is the ideal lily pad for longer-haul journeys. For your kid who yells “Plane!” every time one flies overhead, you’re in luck: the rooftop deck offers panoramic views of the airport and the Pacific Ocean. A 24-hour fitness center and outdoor pool add convenience, and if you’d like to do some sightseeing, you’re just 15 minutes from Venice Beach and the Manhattan Beach Pier. |
