Our family of 4 with an 18 yr old son, and 15 year old daughter, are trying to come up with a spring break destination over Easter week 2018. Our son is graduating HS, and he is not interested in doing any of the big group trips like cruises/all inclusives... with his friends. He doesn't LOVE the beach, but he likes a good pool. If he were to plan this for us, we would all go backpacking someplace cold. Not happening.

We do have a 7 night certificate left from a travel package, and can add points to it to upgrade it. We prefer to stay in the 48 states, but could go further if anyone has a great idea.

We are looking for a destination that has natural beauty, history/culture, great food, and is warmer than Michigan! Ideally, we like to sit and eat outside, and see the sun. It doesn't need to be hot, but sun is important.

Two of our favorite spring breaks have been to the JW San Antonio Hill Country, and JW Desert Ridge (combined with Sedona and Grand Canyon). We are hoping to go somewhere new this time.

The only 2 places I can think of that he might enjoy, and we also would, are JW Starr Pass Tucson and any nicer hotel in New Orleans. He's a great kid, and I'm hoping to show him a great new place to explore. Any other ideas? We do have MR platinum status, but a lounge/benefits are not really important to us as we don't usually get them anyway at resorts. Thanks!
