Good luck.

7. Disney Land or Universal Studios

8. -Las Vegas, Nevada
-Disneyland, California

9. Las Vegas, while it seems like an adult-only playground, is actually really really fun for kids. I went there when I was 10 and it was one of the funnest places I've ever been! You've got to stay at a fun hotel though. I stayed at the Luxor and Circus Circus.

Or you could drive to....Valencia, go to Magic Mountain, that's fun! And Legoland and Disneyland are near-ish.

Or you could go and see Death Valley, the Hoover Dam, and the Grand Canyon. That's a really great roadtrip, I had fun on it! It's cheap too, which is nice.

Have funnnnn!

10. How about the Grand Canyon and Carlsbad Caverns. That's where my family went, when my Dad first got his motorhome.
All 10 of us had a blast. (I am one of 8 kids)

11. i perfure virgina.
i went there and i loved bush gardens.
its all of europe in one ammusment park and then theres also a water park its really awesome.

it shouldnt cost so much my mom said that it wasent alot of money at all so yeah.
i had a blast!

12. The dakotas have a ton of landmarks that are great. I have never actually been there myself, but everyone that I know has gone there said it was a blast.

13. dear.. you need to clam down. Yes i have taken many, hundreds, just look up the state or place you want to go. I guarantee that you will find something. And I would make reservations at a hotel before you leave you house. all of your questions can be answered just by looking up the websites of where you want to go.

if you go to las vegas the kids wont have much to do. (its a party place) go to disneyland

14. You can go camping in Azuza Canyon. Not too far from where you live. I live here in AZ, and you can always drive up to Sedona, and camp up in the Aspens, or rent a Cabin. You can always check their website out. You can Google a lot of stuff to get info.
They just built a new platform at the Grand Canyon where you can overlook the canyon itself. I hear it's amazing!
You can go to a Horse Ranch and go Riding and camping, or stay at the ranch over night and do the activities there.
Go up to Las Vegas and stay at the Circus Circus hotel. They have things there for kids as well as adults.
Rent a Hotel at the beach.
Go up to Big Bear. That's near you.
I hope I gave you some good ideas. Sorry I don't have specifics on costs. You may be able to Google these places and find the costs there. Have fun and be safe!

15. Camping!!! go to Yosemite, its beautiful!
or San Fransisco .. u can see the bridge, go the the aquarium, and to Alcatraz...
ive been to both for family vacations and it was lots of fun!..

16. go to salt lake city during the winter and go skiing. stop in vegas for a night along the way.

17. Vegas, circus circus, they have great rates and are kid friendly.

18. Go to San Diego, California it is very family friendly I went there this last July with my family we went to some beaches, we went go karting ( Miramar Speed Circuit, great go karts indoor track they go up to 40mph on strait away), we went shopping a few times, toured the USS Middway it's a Navy battleship, we toured a submarine also a ship from 1812, ate at restaurants every night, we stayed on Coronado Island it's a little island right off San Diego you take a bridge to get there takes five minutes to get there on the bridge I recommend staying there at the Coronado Island Resort great hotel, things you can do there the outdoor pool has a bar they pull down a screen that plays movies they do it every saturday at 9:00 p.m. they got 4 wheeled bikes you can ride we stayed in one of the suits with a view of the coronado bay also we went deep sea fishing so great Coronado is a rich area every house costs at least 1 million dollars so if you stay there for a week it cost a lil bit so make sure you have the money such a great place to vacation at go there I'm 14 years old and I loved it so hearing the ages of your sons I'm sure they'd have a great time as well as you hope this helped.

19. I also live in west covina and I think Vegas is probably the closest with the most options for a budget. San Diego is closer, but too expensive. If you want more of a road trip with multiple destinations, consider driving up to northern california. You could drive along the coast and stop in Pismo Beach and Monterey. Then maybe end in San Francisco where there's tons to see and do, and don't miss out on Santa Cruz (a beach city with a boardwalk that all kids love!). You could also go camping at a gorgeous lake like Havasu or Lake Powell.

20. if u will . u can travel in thailand and i will be your guide
