Question by Pick me!: What are some vacation spots for a muslim family with teens in the USA?
Hi, as summer rapidly approaches our family would like to take a vacation. Our family has children of ages 11, 14, and 18. We can’t participate in water activities (water parks and pools) because of relgious clothing restrictions, but we are open to many things. What are some interesting areas we could visit? Hopefully there are some fun activities around as well as interesting sights to see.

That’s tough, the USA is so hot in summer most anywhere you don’t want to be in lots of clothes. Perhaps you should head up to New England. Lots of pretty places in the Berkshires to visit, Cape Cod has great beaches and isn’t too hot, Boston is a fascinating city, Maine and Vermont are charmingly rustic. There will be lots of summer camps as well you can maybe offload the kids on. Another thought is New York City – you can’t get bored there. In the area the kids might like Six Flags in NJ and the Science Museum just across in Jersey City, or take a road trip up the Hudson valley. Get’s pretty hot in summer though. Finally San Francisco has a pleasant climate, not too hot, and has loads of things to see and do in the area – take a road trip down Route 1 to Carmel or up to Seattle, or visit the Lake Tahoe area.
