| 3 Family-Friendly Summer Trips That Hit Every Mark |
In another case of “social media is not real life,” you don’t need to stage-direct the formation of core memories, and it’s actually a terrible way to spend your summer. If you’re booking a vacation, just stick to the basics — entertaining for the kids, relaxing for adults, convenient for all — and the fun will certainly find you. Chatham Wayside Inn is a charming boutique hotel on Cape Cod, situated right on Chatham’s Main Street. Think: bike rides, ice cream cones, picnics at nearby Kate Gould Park, and leisurely walks to coastal sights like Oyster Pond and Lighthouse Beach. Stop by Wild Goose Tavern for crowd-pleasing pub fare, New England specialties like lobster bisque and stuffed quahogs, and a kids' menu that plays all the hits. If you go for July 4th, you might even catch a parade. |

| The Asbury Hotel |
This Jersey Shore stay offers something for adults and kids alike: classic beach vibes in a cool boutique setting. You’ll be steps from the boardwalk, but the aesthetic caters to the eclectic, retro-chic vibe of today’s Asbury Park. Asbury Lanes is a landmark concert venue and working bowling alley, while the adjacent diner features turquoise booths, fluorescent signage, and boozy shakes for adults. The hotel’s “Whole Crew” rooms feature bunk beds and sleep up to eight guests — for maximum chaos, you can even bring your dog. |

| Hilton Garden Inn Portsmouth Downtown |
Portsmouth is New England’s best-kept secret: a charming, eminently walkable harbor town with plenty to explore on foot. This downtown hotel helps you make the most of the city, with proximity to waterfront green space like Prescott Park, historic sights, and an abundance of independent boutiques, restaurants, and coffee shops. Start each day with a convenient buffet breakfast at the hotel, then head out to explore Portsmouth at your own pace. Suites sleep up to four and include separate living and sleeping areas. |
