No places yet β€” be the first to add one.
For the kids (and the rest of us)

What should we do?

Hikes, floats, rodeos, ice cream stops β€” ranked by their real-world review scores, best first. Tap any row for the details.

No ideas yet β€” add the first one.
The week takes shape

Day by day

Sketch the week β€” drop the activities we're excited about onto days. Nothing's locked; it's a shared rough draft.

Getting there

Flights & arrivals

Each family adds their flights so we can line up rental cars, airport pickups, and the first night's dinner.

No flights yet β€” add yours once you book (or your best guess).
Nobody cooks twice

Dinner rotation

Seven nights, five families β€” each family claims a night to cook (or call an eat-out night). First come, first served.

Pack smart
