How Much Does It Cost to Vacation Like Your Favorite Stars?

Both Bones star David Boreanaz and Grey’s Anatomy’s Patrick Dempsey are fathers who don’t mind schlepping their kids to island locales such as Hawaii. If you’re looking for a family-friendly vacation spot, you could do worse than the big island. There’s plenty to keep the little ones occupied while you sip drinks in the sand.
