We are planning vacation on Thanksgiving, please tell us some places to visit.

We are from Central US and its very cold here so prefer a little warm places as have a toddler with us.

We have already been to San francisco, Vegas, Chicago,

We will prefer journey by Car.

Please help.....

What about going to St. Augustine FL. It is warm there and they have some great beaches and plenty of things to do and see. I live in Missouri and it takes us about 9 hours to get there. It is the oldest city in the US and they have some great restaurants and places to stay. Plus Thanksgiving is the start of the Festival of lights, the whole Historic District is decorated in white lights and they have people in costume singing carols and giving presentations. Go see the historic sites like Castillo De San Marco, Fort Mantanza (free), the Fountain of Youth, Mission De Nombre, the Old Jail. Take a trolley tour or dolphin tour or even a carriage ride around the city. See the Ripley��s Museum, take surfing lessons at the Pitt, see the St. Augustine Museum, tour Flagler, see the Colonial Village. I could go on and on, it doesn��t matter what your budget is you can find all kinds of things to do here in all price ranges. Be sure to go to the Alligator Farm and the Lighthouse, they both are awesome! Here are some websites with information:

Also about an hour away is Kennedy Space Center and that place is really cool! There is also Blue Springs which is near, go swim with the Manatees. You are also only about an hour or so from Disney and Universal Studios.

Another nice place is Sanibel Island FL. Nice little island, with beautiful white beaches and blue water. There is a ton of stuff to do on this little island, plenty of places to eat and shop. I love going here it is just so pretty and you really can relax. They also have the best shelling in the world. It will be warm there this time of year, and the Manatees should be there. Check out the Ding Darling Nature center from some great vies. The other cool thing about Sanibel is you can ride bikes and mopeds everywhere they have wonderful trails all over the island. In Fort Meyers they have a zoo and some museums if you are taking the kids or looking for more to do. It is a very short drive. Here are some websites:
