Despite proclamations that having kids makes you instantly un-hip, you know the truth: Your clothes are cool, your kids are even cooler, and, on sitter nights you still hang out at your favorite dive bar. Why then, when vacation time rolls around, do you think that Auntie’s condo in Boca is the only available option? Sure, there are the banner destinations that receive the bulk of family vacation fanfare, but how about something different? Allow us to present ten other destinations, from Caribbean hot spots to the plains of East Africa. Some you might have thought were restrictive now that you’ve got kids (newsflash: they’re not). Others may have never crossed your mind, but could soon rank at the top of your list. Regardless, each will go a long way towards resurrecting that iconoclastic sense of self you had before the diapers arrived, reaffirming the notion of cool for both you and your brood.
