Unfortunately, this is not a kid friendly vacation because it is so small and still retains its past.  It is a great spot for a romantic vacation, and was even the setting for a huge motion picture.  We suggest you visit Florence's famous McFarland State Historic Park, located in downtown Florence.  Florence's first courthouse is located here as well, registered as a Historic Site.  Afterward, travel outside of Florence to take in the breathtaking scenery.  Travel back into Florence to eat at a classic restaurant.  There are few lodging accommodations in Florence, but it's worth a stay.  All lodging accommodations here are well-maintained, with friendly staff and beautiful, rustic décor.  We especially love the classic stores downtown, which is usually a walk away from any lodging accommodation in town.  If you do consider a vacation in southern Arizona, travel to Flagstaff for a perfect, romantic destination.  For more vacation and general information, visit Flagstaff's official website.
