I check The New York Times Web site every morning and go to the Travel section at least once a week, yet it was just today that I stumbled upon the "Family Travel Guide." Here, The Times has compiled all dozens of its past articles geared specifically to those traveling with kids in tow. You'll find stories on everything from trekking with llamas in Colorado to playgrounds in Amsterdam to camping in New York City (who knew?).
It's fun to browse through the section and daydream about all the places you could take your kids. Forget Disneyland when you can tour the mosques and medinas of Marrakesh, walk through a butterfly rainforest in Florida, or go tubing in the Poconos.
I was particularly excited to find a piece on Savannah, Ga., as my kids and I will be exploring the Southern town in a few weeks. Now, I know to check out the Railroad Museum, sign up for one of the children's workshops at the Jepson Center for the Arts, and go for blueberry corn pancakes at the Firefly Cafe.
So often the articles in The Times are even better than the best guidebooks because the writers hone in on a single destination and thoroughly research it. They only write about restaurants where they have actually eaten, and when they're writing about a place from a family angle they can actually tell you about their children's experiences in that place.

What a comprehensive resource! Thanks for pointing it out!
I also love the NYT, and certainly use them when planning a New York City Family Vacation, BUT all they really do in their "guides" are collect articles that may be related and are often out of date. A guide to me should give me an ourverview - not a big collection.
