4 Great Family Road Trips

Trip 1: Highway 1

Santa Cruz to Santa Barbara

First Stop: Costanoa Resort

This eco resort nestled right into the protected California coastline (just outside of Santa Cruz) will make even a

nature-loathing kid be taken back in awe. You can camp with your own gear, the cheapest option, or post up in a waterproof

canvas tent bungalow and the work is done for you. Even though you're "camping," you can still hit the spa to relax and go to

the grill when you get hungry. www.costanoa.com
