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.
