Parents everywhere couldn\u2019t be more excited for school to end, especially this year. The days of juggling teaching, parenting, and a full-time job was nothing short of a learning experience for everyone with children.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now more than ever, a vacation sounds like the perfect opportunity to unwind and take a break. For many families, summer travel plans have been modified due to the coronavirus pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As cities open their doors back up to visitors and travel restrictions are eased, parents across the states are searching for the ideal vacation. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it may not be the \u201ctypical\u201d summer fun you\u2019re used to, take a look at our list of places to head to while practicing safe travel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Family Summer Vacation Locations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Orlando, Florida<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The theme park capital of the world\u2122 is starting to get back a new sense of \u201cnormalcy\u201d. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All parks are enforcing face masks to be worn for anyone ages 2+. And, temperatures will be taken before guests enter the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Studios\u00ae set the standard, being the first theme park to reopen its gates in Florida. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While new ticket sales are temporarily paused for Disney\u00ae parks, existing ticket holders and annual pass holders have first dibs on experiencing the initial phase of reopening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting July 11<\/a>, Magic Kingdom\u00ae and Animal Kingdom\u00ae will open its doors followed by Epcot\u00ae and Hollywood Studios\u00ae on July 15th. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although some typical experiences like firework shows and parades are limited, a vacation to Orlando sounds pretty enticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Key West, Florida<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making for the perfect at-home meal if you\u2019re still hesitant to dine-in at restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
