Virginia's Colonial Williamsburg is a family travel classic

Humberto Moreno William Byrd III was a man of great stature in Williamsburg before the American Revolution. His vast holdings included mills, warehouses and ships, and he owned hundreds of slaves. However due to his lavish lifestyle and gambling addiction, he could not live within his income, lost his wealth, and died - it’s believed by suicide - in 1760.

I'm not a fan of the all-gambling, all-partying atmosphere of Vegas. I do like a little of each but want something more. Here's a report from a more laid-back locale on the river that hits the spot, Laughlin. The hottest (128 deg.) trip we've ever done. Hop on the boat and come along at The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/29quzl6

Vow you'd never set foot on a cruise ship? Boorish passengers, long lines and mediocre food -- what kind of vacation is that? Well, if you're a parent, you may want to eat your words. Read how this reluctant cruiser, and mother of four, discovered how perfect cruising can be for family travel...especially once the kids hit the teen years. http://margomcdonough.wordpress.com/

Wheelchair hiking? At most places, that means an extended sidewalk around a state park's parking lot. There are a few places, though, where a wheelchair can really get back to nature. On Monday, we featured a beaver pond trail near Redding, California. Tomorrow, we'll be featuring a superb accessible mountain and river trail in California's Gold Country. Today, we feature 8 wheelchair accessible hiking trails in Southern and Central California ranging from urban hills to remote sequoia groves. It's all at The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/3ydq7fv
