This State Is One Giant Summer Camp for Kids and Adults — Here's How to Plan the Perfect Family Trip

"The locals led us to J’s Oysters, which is where Anthony Bourdain and all the foodie cognoscente go, and which looks like it probably looked 30 years ago. And even through the, 'Ewww, oysters smell like fish' — yes, darlings, that’s right, they live in the sea — I managed to get all the kids to try the creamy, briny delights. Also, just to boast, because I’m becoming that mother who is proud of her adventurous eating children, they all tried the steamer clams, giving the guys a little bath in the cooking juice and soaking it in butter." - Travel + Leisure Editors
