My family and I had planned a road-trip to Whistler, BC.  Imagine our surprise when a freak accident resulted in a bridge collapse that would ultimately prevent us from taking this much-anticipated trip!

So we had to start our planning from scratch, and it was then that I stumbled upon some super summer deals for families that I wanted to share with you!

For example, if you are a AAA member, you can score a 20% discount, free daily breakfast or $100 resort credit at StarwoodHotels.com (with brands including St. Regis, Westin and Sheraton).  Some of these hotels are well-equipped for family relaxation, including pools, waterslides, lazy rivers, and even camps!  Such a great way to relax with the entire family.

Ultimately, my sun-loving family ended up opting for a trip to the beautiful Scottsdale, AZ.  (Yeah, we are nuts that way… we love the desert any time of year).  The resorts there are amazing, and the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale is offering free nights with their “Sunshine On Sale” discount.  We love this hotel, especially now with the addition of the newly renovated waterslide that is thrillingly fast.
