 If
the November breezes have you dreaming of a white winter getaway (or a
sun-soaked escape!) check out our bevy of recent travel stories to help inspire
a great family trip! For starters, we asked two of our favorite travel writers, blogger extraordinaire Carol Cain at NYCity Mama.com and Meryl Pearlstein, a seasoned travel writer, publicist and restaurant reviewer who blogs at travelandfoodnotes.com and allny.com, for a few of their favorite places to vacation with kids in the winter months. From up the coast to across the world, we’ve got you covered — click here for their expert picks.

For even more ideas, check

(including some that are only an hour outside the city!) kid-approved
cruise lines
, and warm weather destinations around the country (and the world) and at every price point. And for some parent-to-parent wisdom, take a second to look through a few of our recent family travel essays below!
