Planning a Florida Keys for Gay Families Vacation – 2TravelDads

by
Florida Keys for Gay Families - 2TravelDads

I had dreamed of a Florida Keys vacation since I was a teenager and first saw pictures of Key West and all the places to visit in the Florida Keys for gay families. Well, we’ve finally taken a family trip to the Keys (several actually!) and worked really hard to create the best Keys itinerary with kids in mind.

We stayed in several tropical resorts, including some vacation rental options, and have great recommendations for where to stay as you explore. Also, keeping in mind smaller crowds and the abundance of nature in this beautiful archipelago, this vacation plan is great for having a one-of-a-kind experience beyond the busier spots in the Keys.

No matter how you slice it, the Florida Keys is a road trip. Sure, you can fly into Key West, but you can also fly into other Florida airports and then drive the Overseas Highway as far as you can. And that’s when we get to the big questions about planning your vacation here.

We’re going to tell you all about enjoying a Bryson City Christmas, including the Polar Express train.

A Bryson City Christmas in North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains

We’ve got our favorite Christmassy activities for you and some tips for visiting Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the off-season. You’ll find that Bryson City is a great destination in fall and winter for just relaxing, and it’ll really put you into the holiday spirit if you’re planning a visit in December.

Our family always enjoys doing a corn maze and visiting farms during the fall, but did you know that some farms go full-holiday for Christmas? Christmas in Bryson City stretches from the decorated downtown to the local farms, and Darnell Farms is awesome for holiday lights and activities.

If you have additional things to do in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park that we didn’t include here, feel free to leave a comment or send us a note!

10 Things to Do in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park – Kīlauea Unit

Something wonderful about visiting this Hawaiian gem is how accessible it is. There is, of course, lots of hiking (it is a mountain park, after all) but all of the options in our primary list of things to do in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park are both stroller and wheelchair accessible to a significant point.

Things to Do in Door County for Gay Families

So what exactly is there to do in Door County for gay families? So much! We’ve broken down our top picks for activities by theme / style. We’ve got foodie ideas, the arts, getting on the water and exploring nature. Even though it can be a chilly place to be in the winter, the rest of the year Door County is awesome, albeit a little wild for weather in spring and fall.

My heart breaks for those who cannot eat cheese, especially if they’re in Wisconsin. Eating cheese is one of the best things to do in Door County. Whether you’re ordering fried cheese curds in a restaurant or bar, or you’re doing a guided cheese tasting (yes, like a wine tasting) you’re going to love it. PS: it’s also okay just to buy a block of Wisconsin cheese and sit alone in your car eating it… I may have done that on more than one occasion.

We’ll start with Renard’s Artisan Cheese because it is my favorite cheese shop of all that I’ve been to in Door County. Located in Sturgeon Bay, Renard’s Artisan Cheese has everything you could want, from cheese curds of all sorts to cheese spreads. What I really love about it here though is the guided cheese tasting. Knowledgeable staff explain the different cheeses and are quite generous with the samples.
