Get Outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of the things locals love best about the Pacific Northwest (aka the PNW) is our beautiful nature. We have oceans, lakes, mountains, and lots of trees, so it's no surprise that getting outside is one of our favorite activities. Two of the most popular spots to hang outside in Seattle Southside are Des Moines Beach Park (and Marina) and Redondo Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Des Moines Beach Park, you can explore the rocky shore, you might spot some shells and sea life in addition to a few shorebirds hoping to catch a bite to eat. If you're a fan of fishing, you can even fish off the Public Fishing Pier while watching boats sail by and planes pass overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And for some extra exploration, you can hike along the Des Moines Creek Trail which is a paved easy walking trail through the middle of a lush forest. After your hike, stop at Quarterdeck to grab a drink and sit outside in the sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Redondo Beach is another popular outdoor spot in the area where you can find a small beach, boardwalk, and pier, and you can even rent kayaks or paddleboards and head out for a paddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you're searching for where to eat in Des Moines, try via Marina Wood Fired Pizza & Italian Cafe for a delicious Italian dinner and Jack's Country Restaurant for a big plate, old-fashioned breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you're looking to burn off some energy and escape indoors, head to DEFY Seattle in Tukwila. It's a huge indoor trampoline park but has more to offer than just bouncing. We took a shot at completing their ninja obstacle course, they even have a warped wall! And you can also ride a zipline into a foam pit and try your hand -- or should I say foot -- at slackline walking. Trust me, it's harder than it looks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the perfect place to escape on a rainy Seattle day. And, if you get hungry while visiting, they do have a small snack booth where you can grab some food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you're into bowling and arcades, Round 1 Entertainment is a must-stop for your Seattle Southside trip. It's a large game complex at the Westfield Southcenter shopping mall. Inside families can go bowling, play pool, sing their hearts out with karaoke, and play for prizes in the large arcade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We loved bowling at Round 1, they have fun-themed scoreboards and big-screen TVs at the end of each bowling lane. It's a great atmosphere for groups and a perfect activity for families. And if your kids (and even yourself) have outgrown Chuck E Cheese, Round 1 will reawaken your love of arcade games as you play for tickets with basketball, bowling, and any number of random video games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While at Southcenter, you can grab lunch or dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory, a popular family chain. If you have a small party, you might even request a table in their train car. And all meals come with ice cream at the end, sure to be hit with kids of any age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you're looking for more family fun center activities, check out the Tukwila Family Fun Center. You can play some mini-golf, race go-karts, battle with bumper boats, take a swing in batting cages, and go for an attack with laser tag. They also recently added a large 16-lane bowling alley, so families can enjoy a day of fun with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One tip: look online in advance for deals and specials. Depending on what activities you want to do, you might be able to get a wristband for activities and save some money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you've seen photos of people doing indoor skydiving, you have your chance to give it a try while in Seattle Southside. iFLY has a Seattle location in Tukwila near the Westfield Southcenter Mall. It's a unique experience and can be quite challenging but fun! You'll get suited up and get a lesson on what to do before heading into the chamber to give \"air riding\" a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure you budget for their professional photos and\/or videos if you think you might be interested in having a memento of your flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our family's favorite museums in the Seattle area is the Museum of Flight. If your family has any interest in aviation and old planes, this shouldn't be missed. They have one huge room that is filled with old planes, including a plane just like the one Amelia Earhart flew. They also have a large exhibit of WWI and WWII planes, sure to be of interest for history buffs. They even have a space shuttle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I'll mention that the museum has a pretty nice cafe where you can grab some food in case you visit during mealtime. They also have a 3D theater with various films about flight and space (currently closed for safety).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you're interested in learning about the sea life that calls the Puget Sound home, you should head to the Highline College Marine Science and Technology Center. This aquarium and teaching center is located at Redondo Beach in Des Moines and serves as the learning center for Highline College students as well as a public learning center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their center features 15 tanks that use flow-through seawater straight from Puget Sound. You can view over 250 native marine species, and even have a chance to touch some! Take note that the aquarium is only open to the public on Saturdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had to add this in since it's a favorite stop for our family! IKEA is a popular furniture store that started in Sweden. My girls love shopping there and we're always browsing their mocked-up rooms for decor and layout ideas. They also have a cafe featuring a popular Swedish meatball meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While downtown Seattle gets a lot of attention, hopefully, you can see from this list that there are some fun things to do in Seattle Southside with your tweens and teens. Again, you can head down for a day trip from Seattle or perhaps you're just looking for something fun to do near the Seattle airport before or after your flight. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Planning to visit the Seattle Southside region and looking for some fun activities to do with older kids? Whether you're planning a local Seattle staycation or looking for things to do near Seattle airport, check out this list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seattle Southside is made up of the cities of Des Moines, SeaTac, and Tukwila, and you can reach downtown Seattle in about 15-20 minutes, while still staying close to the airport for traveling convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the things locals love best about the Pacific Northwest (aka the PNW) is our beautiful nature.

Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There's a reason there are songs written about America being beautiful. From sea to shining sea there are so many scenic spots across the entire country. Here are some of the best road trips in the USA in every state. Plan a trip nearby, or perhaps you'll plan an epic US road trip and hit many of these beautiful spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give your family a deep understanding of the struggle for civil rights<\/a> by visiting the places where history was made. This three-day trip takes travelers from tragic memorials to moving sites that gained global attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start in Birmingham, Alabama, where four little girls were killed in a Sunday morning bombing at the 16th Street Baptist Church, and then walk across the street to a park where police dogs and officers with fire hoses attacked children marching against segregation. Grab dinner at Niki\u2019s West, a classic meat-and-three southern cafeteria, and spend the night at the downtown Elyton Hotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next day, it\u2019s off to Selma, site of the Bloody Sunday march. You\u2019ll want to stop the car and have the family walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, literally putting you in the footsteps of the protesters. When you reach the top, pause, look across the river and imagine you\u2019re facing law officers with riot gear and billy clubs. Would you have the courage to continue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Denali Highway is an all-gravel road stretching across 135 miles of rugged, beautiful Interior Alaska landscape. Void of most tourists and full of opportunities to experience the quiet serenity of remote Alaska, the highway is known for its hiking, berry-picking, and in-season hunting among Alaska residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who drive it will need to do so slowly, and with a vehicle approved for gravel roads (check out www.TravelAlaska.com for a list of rental companies that do so). Camping is the most popular way to explore the road, but there are a number of rustic lodges<\/a> and roadhouses along the way that caters to adventurous travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring your binoculars, camera, and be prepared for an Alaska road trip<\/a> like the Alaskans do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Grand Canyon family vacation<\/a> is all about adventure and stopping along the way to enjoy Arizona\u2019s natural beauty. A direct drive from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon South Rim will take about four hours if you don\u2019t encounter heavy tourist traffic, but be sure to schedule extra time for side trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stop in beautiful Sedona to hike among red rocks or cool off in summer months at the Slide Rock State Park, a natural waterpark of sorts. You could also visit the impressive Native American ruins at Walnut Canyon or Montezuma Castle. Meanwhile, a trip to Meteor Crater near Winslow is a bit off-course but well worth the extra drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a unique way to reach the Grand Canyon, climb aboard the Grand Canyon Railway in Williams, Arizona (a little over 2.5 hours by car from Phoenix).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Activities at the South Rim include helicopter rides, Native American dance performances, dining options, hiking, and plenty of photo ops. If you\u2019d like to hike all the way down the Grand Canyon, then you should spend months preparing for the strenuous journey. Keep in mind it takes about four hours to descend to the bottom and another six to eight to climb back up. This will take even longer if venturing with young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drive about four miles from the South Rim to Grand Canyon West to experience Skywalk, a horseshoe-shaped glass-bottom bridge suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River. Children especially love a side trip to Bearizona. Located about 58 miles from the Grand Canyon, this drive-through wildlife park near Williams gives visitors the opportunity to see 17 species of animals including Arctic wolves, bison, Dall sheep, and of course, bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accommodations at the rim of the Grand Canyon are limited. Plan to make your hotel or camping reservations about a year in advance. El Tovar<\/a> is the oldest and grandest resort, made of limestone and pine in 1905 to evoke a Swiss chalet. There is a KOA Campground<\/a> just outside of the park which is popular with families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It's easier to find available hotels in nearby Williams<\/a>. The Grand Canyon Railway offers hotel and train packages. Accommodations aren\u2019t anything fancy, but the adorable town looks like Radiator Springs from the Disney \u201cCars\u201d franchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Highway 7 in Arkansas<\/a> was the state\u2019s first designated scenic byway. It has been on lists of the most scenic drives in the US. This route begins in the south near the nice oil boom town of El Dorado, Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first part of the drive takes you through rolling hills of pine and river bottomlands of hardwoods. It then enters the Ouachita Mountains and passes by DeGray Lake and then right through the middle of the town of Hot Springs. Hot Springs is definitely worth a stop! It is home to the only National Park in Arkansas, Hot Springs National Park, and has a row of old bathhouses that you will want to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After leaving Hot Springs, scenic 7 passes through the Ouachita National Forrest and then into the Arkansas River Valley. At this point, the terrain will become flatter for a while until just after the town of Russellville where you will begin to ascend into the Ozark Mountains. Be prepared for some ups and downs and winding sections of road as well as gorgeous views. There will be marked pull-offs in order for you to stop and take in the scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you get to the town of Jasper you will definitely want to stop at the Cliff House Inn and Restaurant<\/a>. It perches right on the edge of the mountain and you can enjoy wonderful mountain views while you eat a home-cooked meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The town of Jasper has a quaint downtown area with some shops and restaurants and is near the Buffalo River which is designated a National River. It is one of the few remaining un-dammed rivers in the lower 48 states. The route ends not too far up the road from Jasper in the town of Harrison, Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cruise down the California coast on what is one of the best road trips in the USA. You can start up north before the beginning of CA-1 if you're looking for the best place to see redwoods<\/a>. The Redwood National and State Parks are a must-see in Northern California<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the redwoods, you'll head over to the coast to start on your Highway 1 (CA-1) California coast trip. Make time to stop in Fort Bragg<\/a>, home of the famous glass beach. And then work your way down to San Fransisco where you can enjoy walking across the Golden Gate Bridge. If you're staying overnight in San Fran, I highly recommend the Lodge at the Presidio<\/a>, which has a free shuttle to the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown (check rates<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n After San Fransisco, you'll hit the heart of central California where there are some of the most classic scenery associated with a California coast road trip<\/a>. Stop into Monterey and Cannery Row for some great seafood restaurants. Visit the charming town of Cambria for the less-touristy Moonstone Beach and quaint restaurants like Robins and Linn's.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You'll slowly start heading into Southern California where you'll find tourists and traffic, but also some great things to do. There are plenty of great beaches and hotels that will let you soak up the sun. Here are some great Southern California day trips<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With four National Parks and dozens of perfect mountain towns, Colorado\u2019s pretty much the best road trip state. And my optimal road trip would combine both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019d start at my home base of Colorado Springs<\/a> and head south to Great Sand Dunes National Park. As with most National Parks, you could stay for hours or you could stay for days. I\u2019d recommend 4-5 hours for your first visit. Go in the morning before it gets too hot, head up the high dune on the first ridge, play as much as you want, and if there\u2019s water in Medano Creek, put on a swimsuit and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then continue on to Crested Butte<\/a> and spend 1-2 nights. Crested Butte is all about the charming town and the nature. Go mountain biking or hiking, or just run up the ski slope. In the winter we like to stay on the mountain, but in the summer we would rather be down in town. We love the chicken at Slogar, the ice cream at Third Bowl, and the coffee at Camp 4 Coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next head to Telluride, but drive through Black Canyon of the Gunnison on the way there \u2013 one of the easier National Parks to see from your car with a few quick stops. It\u2019s stunning and worth the two-hour detour. Spend two nights in Telluride<\/a>. Take the gondola up the mountain, hike to a waterfall (Bear Creek and Bridal Veil are good), walk around the river, and explore the town. For food, you can\u2019t beat Brown Dog Pizza and Smuggler Union Brewery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To finish, you could drive back to your home base, but I\u2019d circle north and add in a night in Aspen or Vail, both of which are great in the summer. Aspen has Maroon Bells nearby, one of my favorite hikes. And Vail has a great central town area where you can spend hours just enjoying the setting. In Aspen dinner at White House Tavern never disappoints. In Vail, we love Pazzo\u2019s Pizzeria and Sweet Basil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Start your Connecticut road trip in the coastal town of Norwalk at the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. Opened in 1988, the Aquarium showcases animals and fish living in replications of their Long Island Sound habitats. Throughout the year, the center also offers educational camps and programs, an IMAX theater that shows educational films made by MacGillivray Freeman Films, and spearheads several conservation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you explore the Aquarium, you\u2019ll head north on I-95 for 40 minutes to the historic city of New Haven<\/a>. Easily accessible to New York City by the Metro-North train line, New Haven is home to Colonial history and Yale University. Spend some time exploring the Ivy League campus and grab lunch at one of the many incredible pizza places like Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana or Modern Apizza, before continuing north up I-91.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll finish your road trip 40 minutes later in the state capitol, Hartford, Connecticut. Established in 1635, Hartford is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Tour the historic homes of Harriet Beecher Stowe or Mark Twain, explore the Connecticut Science Center, or visit the oldest art museum in the United States, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A good Delaware road trip starting point is Wilmington, just south of Philadelphia on Route 95. The city is known for its riverfront dining and nightlife and you can easily access another famous east coast roadway, Route 1. This route will take you directly to Delaware\u2019s gorgeous Atlantic shore points. The total drive is about two hours and will take you across the state from north to south, but there\u2019s a lot to see in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along the way, you can visit attractions off of Route 1, like in the capital of Dover. There you will find the race track, Dover International Speedway and Dover Downs Casino. Make sure to visit the First State Heritage Park which is home to 18th-century Colonial attractions like the Old State House. Stopping in Dover will split the trip in half and you can even plan to spend the night<\/a> before driving to the beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you continue down Route 1 you can make another stop off at Henlopen State Park. It\u2019s the convergence point of Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. This area is biologically unique and has historical significance. Look for the World War II coastal defense batteries that were built into the dunes to prepare for a possible land invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, you\u2019ll reach the shore points of Delaware with fun and unique beaches dotting the coast and should spend at least one night. Enjoy the party beach town of Dewey Beach, the family favorite of Bethany Beach, the nature preserve of Fenwick, or the LGBT beach destination, Rehoboth Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head along US-1 from Miami to Key West for one of the most epic road trips in the USA. Along the way, you'll island-hop from popular tourist spots like Key Largo and Islamorada to spots like Big Pine Key and Bahia Honda where nature is the focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Islamorada plan to stop at Robbie's to eat and to feed the tarpon. If you stay overnight at Key Largo or Islamorada, visit for breakfast before too many tourists start flocking to the spot. You can buy a bucket of fish and feed the tarpon off the dock - just watch out for some sneaky pelican fish snatchers. You can also book a snorkeling tour from here if you have extra time to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n End your road trip enjoying some great things to do in Key West<\/a>. You can take a food tour, visit the southernmost point in the United States, and catch an epic sunset on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While in the Keys, I stayed at the Baker's Cay Resort<\/a> in Key Largo and The Perry Hotel<\/a> on Stock Island with a free shuttle to Key West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The North Georgia mountains<\/a> are packed with quaint little towns that seem like they were cut straight from \"Steel Magnolias\" or \"Driving Miss Daisy,\" each with its own distinctive appeal. Whether you're looking for a taste of quaint Southern charm or just want to immerse yourself in nature, the southern end of the Blue Ridge region offers plenty of attractions within a 2-hour drive from Atlanta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start with a night in Adairsville, just 60 miles north of ATL, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The former Cherokee village is full of history, and the original owners of what's now Barnsley Gardens Resort supposedly inspired \"Gone With the Wind\" author Margaret Mitchell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From there head 20 miles northeast to Blue Ridge (and nearby Blairsville), which are surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest and countless hiking trails, waterfalls, and picturesque mountain scenery. Rent a cabin<\/a> just outside of town (or on one of the area's two major lakes), and spend 2-3 days exploring the Toccoa River, Vogel State Park, Brasstown Bald, and riding the historic Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wind down your North Georgia road trip with a day or two in Dahlonega, home to Zac Brown and site of the first US gold rush back in 1828. Stay at the historic Smith House, shop in the Historic District for folksy Southern crafts, check out some local bluegrass music, and soak in awesome views of the Chestatee River. \u2013Bret Love & Mary Gabbett of Blue Ridge Mountains Travel Guide<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our favorite things to do in Oahu<\/a> was driving around the island. While you can't actually drive around the whole island due to military road closures you can drive along the main loop of half the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along the way, you'll see some amazing sites that make Oahu one of my favorite places in the US. You can hike Diamond Head, stop at the beautiful Hanauma Bay (parking is limited), grab some North Shore shrimp at Giovanni's, and finish with some classic Masamoto's Shave Ice. It's the perfect way to spend a day on Oahu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most popular Hawaii road trips is the Road to Hana on Maui. Most people drive the Road to Hana<\/a> in one day, but there are so many cool stops that you could easily stretch it to two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll definitely want to check out a few waterfalls along the way. Twin Falls is on mile marker #2 and it only requires a short hike to see a pretty Maui waterfall. The Garden of Eden is on mile marker #10 and it\u2019s a stunning botanical garden with amazing photo spots and views of the ocean. There\u2019s even lava tube around mile marker #31 that\u2019s fun to explore with a flashlight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have time, go beyond the small town of Hana and check out the Seven Sacred Pools. Just be sure to check to see if it\u2019s open before you make the drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, there\u2019s also lots of cool food stops you won\u2019t want to miss. The Halfway to Hana stand sells some of the best Hawaiian banana bread, plus lots of lunch and snack items. And there are tons of fresh fruit stands, places to get shave ice, and coconut ice cream. Once you get to Hana, head to Up in Smoke BBQ for some awesome kalua pork tacos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One more tip: If you get motion sickness, take some Dramamine before you go. There are 620 curves and 59 bridges (most are one-lane), so take your time and make plenty of stops. This 52 mile Maui road trip all about the journey, not the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of my favorite road trips in the US is through the spectacular Salmon River Scenic Byway in Idaho<\/a>. To slow down and enjoy the spectacular scenery and outdoor adventures, I recommend you spend at least one week. You can start and finish in Boise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along this Byway, you\u2019ll find plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, river activities and exploring the ghost towns of the Land of the Yankee Fork Historic Area. In the Stanley region, be sure to enjoy the many hot springs along the side of the road and beside the Salmon River, which is also home to some of the best white water rafting in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"des](\"https:\/\/stuffedsuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/des-moines-beach-park-1100x825.jpg\")
