Thanks for your replies. I appreciate your helpful responses.
To clarify, I am an established author with my own line of books. We purposefully went to locations that I am researching for an upcoming category of travel books to be published later this year.
While I do understand that I can not (and would not) write off family entertainment costs, I was wondering if lodging costs at specific locations relevant to researching and photographing for my upcoming travel books would be allowed. My family did come along; however, it wasn't a typical family vacation.
