Vacation help!

Hey guys and gals! Looking for a place here in our great state to take the fam on a vacation. Unfortunately it will be during spring break and I will have 3 mini people so the obvious places are out. I want to have nothing to do with the party people of the coastal areas that I would normally go to... Looking for a place to house 5-10 with enough to keep everyone occupied... Any help would be appreciated.

What kind of activities are you looking to do, You could go be a guinea pig for our GTG idea and see if its worth it HA HA HA HA. But what kind of entertainment are you looking for. Water themed adventures, or outdoorsy camping stuff, educational and fun, or just a general list of all the above to make a decission later (how far are you looking to travel in Texas (up to hours away I mean) I'll start hunting a few spots for ya

Kids are still a little too young to do a whole lot and it may be too cold for water activities but I'm willing to hear any ideas so I don't have to drive 13 hours one way. As far as distance I'd say 6-7 hours should be the max.

They are or will be three 1/2, 2 and about 4 months. Looked into Kemah Boardwalk already and that's on the top of the list... I think to young for NASA.

Children's Museum of Houston - Providing Children Activities and Events for Family Fun in Houston. Good reviews for the 2 oldest of yours
Kemah Kemah Boardwalk - The Fun Never Stops! is definitely a good place, but come Spring break may be a little more crowded with teeny boppers.

but then there is Welcome to Schlitterbahn Galveston | Schlitterbahn Galveston the Schlitterbahn in galveston.

Basically In the big H-town, there are plenty to do if you stay in the area

And Moody gardens also http://www.moodygardens.com/

And I highly reccomend here at least once, great place for kids http://www.rainforestcafe.com/default.asp
