According to Bookit.com and the Travel Industry Association, family spring break trips are the new travel trend.

"About 70% of households with children will travel together this year," said Laura Veglia, Vice President of Sales for BookIt.com. "From the grandchildren to the grandparents, families today are seeking hot deals on destinations that offer the right combination of activities, dining options and amenities so that every member enjoys their time together."

For that great family spring break Veglia talks about, Bookit suggests a few of the usual suspects, such as Orlando, but does showcase some genuine good ideas.

Try the ski-in/ski-out condos at The Ridge at Lake Tahoe, going for $135 per night with the 5th night free. Or maybe sun and sand is more your thing? Named #1 Beach in America by USA Today, Destin, Florida seems a good option for a Florida vacation without the keggers and wet T-shirt contests of other Spring Break perennials like Miami and Daytona Beach.

The high rise Ariel Dunes condos offer kids-eat-free breakfast buffets and free beachside chair service (um, normally you have to pay for this?) and starts at $112/night with the 3rd or 4th night free.

If you want to hear "You're the greatest Mommy in the world!" and earn bragging rights for your playgroup, splurge for spring break at the new Grand Sunset Princess all-inclusive luxury resort outside of Cancun, Mexico. According to Bookit.com, they're offering rates at $119 per-person, per night, with up to two children ages 12 and younger staying, playing, and eating -- free! And we like free.

As with all booking sites, pay close attention to all the fine print when making your reservations. To get you started, try perusing the site's FAQs.
