Every city, big or small has fun things to do on vacation. Sometimes teens get excited about where they are going, other times, it's tough. Natasha Darras, 16, a rising star on the high school golf circuit in southern California says that if you use your imagination, you can find amazing places to explore.
"No matter where I go, I get creative and search for places to visit and things to do that feed my soul. We all know that local attractions are easy to figure out but often, it is hard to find an amusement park, historical museum or mall nearby," says Natasha.
Talk to your parents and start a family tradition that is simple, where everyone can have fun.
For instance:
-- Find the "best ice cream" in town. Make a list, rate the gelato, have
a competition with your family members -- determine the winner and go
there again.
-- Rent bicycles. Even if your family doesn't love sports, most people
like to explore on bikes.
-- Go to the beach, during the day it's a safe, open environment to meet
people, walk and people watch.
Parents want everyone to have a great time, here are tips to help your parents, help you:
-- Go to sports complexes for behind the scenes tours. Places like
Wrigley Field, Wembley Stadium and Daytona Motor Speedway offer
extensive tours and historical facts that are fun.
-- Explore your favorite sports in new cities -- from skate shops in
Barcelona to paint ball fields in France to batting cages in Kansas
City.
Dinner out can be tough on teens, so try choosing restaurants that reflect the local food.

Flea Markets:
Every city has an individual scene or experience. Flea markets abound from Greenwich Village to Florence and beyond.
-- Vintage jewelry can be a treasure you may never be able to get in your
town, so if the price is right, buy it on the spot.
-- Double check vintage thrift shops for costumes, prom dresses and
accessories, find deals on your budget and great pieces to mix and
match with your every day wear.
"And," says Natasha, "walk down Main Street, in any town and people watch. Enjoy your ice cream, open your eyes and take it all in!" Every city has an individual scene or experience. Flea markets abound from Greenwich Village to Florence and beyond.
