Planning trips for a family of 5 overwhelms me.  And with three girls; one teen and two tweens; a trip that satisfies everyone can be complex. 

Enter award-winning travel expert Jessica Griscaviage, founder of Runway Travel. She’s an aficionado of an array of travel experiences, including family travel. “Traveling with my family has provided the best moments of my life,” says Griscaviage. “I would advise a young family to take their kids traveling, it’s an amazing way to enrich their perspectives.”   Below are some of her best family travel experiences:

Paris: Crack the Da Vinci Code.

A privately-guided walking tour and challenge designed leads you through the Saint Germain district, the Pantheon, and  Luxembourg Gardens while racing against time to save the world.    

Seaside in Santa Monica.

Feet in the sand, cycling seaside, surfing, hiking, shopping, and museums… this SoCal spot has it all.  A stay at Shutters on the Beach or Hotel Casa del Mar puts you and your family right in the center of an epic California Coast getaway. 

Anytime in Iceland.

Lava tunnels, lagoons, Northern lights, whale-watching, New Year’s Eve fireworks on a frozen lake, etc… What isn’t there to do here?  Oh, did we mention the food?!
