Nothing says family fun to me like a day spent splashing around in the water with the kids, especially when that day is part of a getaway at a gorgeous spot like the Beaches Resort in Turks & Caicos.

This all-inclusive destination makes it so that parents can be on vacation, too, and not worry about much more than which restaurant they want to eat at next.

They don’t even have to worry about what that meal is going to cost because it’s all already covered.  In fact, pretty much everything is covered at these destinations, including the water activities–even SCUBA!  At this resort, water  fun can be found throughout the property, from the pools and wild slides to the snorkel trips that take place pretty much every other hour.

Find out more  about what makes this destination special in our article about the Beaches Resort on our sister site, StressFreeBaby.com.

But first, let us take you there in today’s 60 Second Escape.

60 Second Escapes: Keystone Resort in Colorado

Keystone Resort in Colorado is the kind of place where you can make a memory every minute with your family—the kind of trip where kids of all ages are going to find some fun and possibly even a new life passion.
I’ve always been a warm weather water baby (yeah, it’s a thing I just made up, very me, though), but I’ve learned, when you have snow all around you, it’s hard not to embrace its beauty and throw yourself into the new adventures it can provide, especially at a spot like Keystone Resort (about an hour and a half from the Denver Airport).
From skiing to ice skating, snowboarding to sleigh rides, there is something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
We suggest you bundle up for today’s 60 Second Escape to the mountains of Colorado for some serious family fun.

60 Second Escapes: Aruba, The Carnival Parade

Everyone loves a parade, or so the saying goes, but some people seem to enjoy it a whole lot more than others, including the people of Aruba, known as one happy island, during Carnival season.

I was lucky enough to be able to watch the Carnival parade in 2014, hosted by a group of locals who made the parade viewing one very memorable party for this tourist.

You have to be willing to endure a long day in the heat, but the colorful personalities parading by will certainly entertain.  In my world, this is one of those must-do events at some point in your life.  You have to see it in person to truly appreciate the fun, but until you can get there, enjoy this 60 Second Escape into their vibrant celebration.

Is there a place you’ve visited that throws a better party?

Costa Rica conjures up images of the tropics, a little bit of wild, mixed in with a whole lot of wonderful…wonderful views of seas that lead you to the horizon, sunsets that thrill.

On a recent visit to the country for the ROAR Retreat (an amazing event only made better by this one of a kind location), we had the opportunity to make the most of our stay at the Westin Conchal Resort.

In this video, we feature that resort, so come along on this 60 second escape to a truly unique corner of the world where you can reconnect with nature, without giving up the luxury.

Please leave us a comment below and let us know other places you’d like to escape t0–even just for a minute–and we’ll start working on bringing you with us on our adventure.
