At the grocery, we'd buy kid-friendly snacks and drinks. We'd always have a deck of cards to play 'Go Fish'.

A teen that loves to cook? Pasta making class in Italy. An avid athlete? Tickets to a local sporting event. With my teenage boys, we always include outdoor adventure - like ziplining and snorkeling.

Some resorts have great teen centers, others are best suited for young children - with daycare and babysitting. For city sightseeing holidays, I select hotels with pools, bicycles, or close to city parks. I recommend kid-friendly activities - such as living-history museums, the local amusement park or chocolate museum.

Would it be wrong to creatively make a tent over somebody else's crying kid? ARE YOU SURE IT'S WRONG???
