Are scenic vacations boring for your kids/teens?

Kelli on our trip out west mostly kept busy playing her DS (Nintendo) but will do a few overlooks before she says I'll stay in the car. When we were in Canada tho we were going up a really really curvy road, when she said, Mom I've loved being with just you this week!! shaggy

Our teens love Hawaii too but who can afford to take them every year when we live in Florida and can do a beach any day.

They get bored in Southwest FL despite having a waterfront condo and even in Orlando where you'd think they would be excited about Disney they would rather do The Fun Spot or go in the pool at the resort or play XBox all day and night.

I've thought of taking them to Europe but am afraid it would be just a total waste of money. They barely appreciate the beauty of the US so why waste money taking them on an expensive trip now.

I can't wait til they pass 18, hopefully it will get better and I can enjoy travelling with them again.

Honestly they were more fun when they were littler and still amazed by the beauty of their world.
