My mom and I are planning a family vacation starting July 15. We are only planning for 4 days, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th. I'm 21, and I have two other siblings who are going, they are a 16 year old boy, and a 12 year old girl.
We live in Oklahoma and are not looking to travel too far.
Any good vacations ideas???
Please help.

If the Southern part of Montana isn't too far for you, I would suggest the Beartooth River Ranch, 9 miles south of Belfry, MT. It's only about 3 miles from Wyoming and about 45 minutes from Cody, WY.
The owners and manager are wonderful people and there are always kids around the ranch house. The Beartooth Mountains are on one side of the ranch and the Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone River is on the other side.
They offer guided horseback rides, fishing, campfires down at the river, day trips into Cody, beautifully decorated rooms and suites, and the best homecooked meals you can imagine. There is a TV viewing room, picnic tables outside, a laundry room that is close to all the rooms, and their prices are very reasonable.
My sister and I spent two days and nights there in May that we will never forget. We were made to feel so at home and so welcomed. They catered to our every need and wish.
The decor is rustic and western. The atomosphere is amazing. The drive from the ranch to Cody is absolutely gorgeous!
Imagine being on a horse, in Montana, with the Beartooth Mountains behind you and the Yellowstone River in front. It was a dream come true type of vacation for us and we're going back as soon as we can and we'll stay longer. Can't wait to get back.
We live in Amarillo, TX and the drive there didn't seem long at all because of all the beautiful scenery/landscapes we saw on the trip there. It was heaven!!

The best place to go is the Caribbean, specifically Antigua. It has 365 beaches and so many places to go. Your family would love it there. The warm sunny beached, tropical fruits, touring the island. It would be great. YOu can get a ticket for around 400-500 dollars or even less depending on when you buy it. This would be the dream vacation. Living on the beach, watching the sunset by the sea shore, A dream come through. You can go to the JOlly Beach/ Culb Antigua Resort and get royal treatment.

What little I have seen of Utah is gorgeous. We drove to Phoenix, AZ from Las Vegas via the southern end of Utah. I am not sure how far that is for you.
My other suggestion would be to decide which direction you want to go and stop at what you want to see along the way. After a couple of days, take a different route back. Sometimes these trips are more fun.
Enjoy!!!!

Canada.
the Maritimes would be lovely, Newfoundland might be a bit far/expensive to get to.. but Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia would be nice..
Quebec city of Montreal would offer you a taste of Europe at a fraction of the price.. there are lots of festivals during the summer.
Canada is safe and clean, you don't (yet) need a passport oto travel to here, plus your US dollar is worth $1.12 Cdn

Ohio.
My husband and I did a road trip a few years back. We visited Columbus, Cleveland - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dresden - Longabacker Basket Company (out of the way but real interesting little village of shops and a corp headquarters shaped like a 7 story basket), Sandusky - Cedar Point.

Disneyworld in Orlando, FL is great- I went last February with my husband, and kids ages 9 and 16 and we had a great time. If you stay at one of their resorts there are free buses between all of the parks and if you get park-hopper passes you can go to any park any time! The Animal Kingdom lodge is terrific and I would highly recommend staying there!

Go to a lake and camp, or rent a little cabin. Try to find a local amusement park, or water park. Six flags Arlington in Texas isn't too far for u is it? Thats a really fun place. Have fun where ever u go
