Family Vacation Ideas That Appeal to Both an 85 Year Old and a 7 Year Old

My husband’s aunt (85f) came to northeast Ohio to live near us last October from Florida. She’s a widow and her only child has passed so it’s just her and she is beyond set financially.

She wants us to go on a family vacation this summer. We told her that we don’t have the extra money right now because we had made a couple big purchases last summer and were recouping at the moment. She has offered to pay for the entire trip and has said to just find a place we want to go and she’ll “tag along”. We are at a loss to find any place that would appeal to both her and our 7 year old.

Looking for ideas…

She can walk and gets around but she does tire out and needs rest and naps, etc. Accessibility is a consideration. Also, we are not just “lie on the beach all day” types. One day at the beach is enough. We prefer to explore/experience things, go to museums, etc. We’re not looking to go international or anything.
