Professionally I shoot Nikon. Not much differentiating Nikon and Canon DSLR offerings - just a question of which system you want to invest (or are invested) in.
Also shoot Sony mirrorless - amazing system that is fairly future-proof. Bodies are tiny in comparison.
But I gotta tell you when it comes to a combo of ease of use/quality/portability, I always grab the Fujifilm X100F. It’s a delight and in the $1200 range. Not the camera to build a system around (lens is fixed), but a near perfect EDC camera. For kids/family, think most about which camera you’re going to want to lug around with you all day.
Highly recommend you consider something with a fully articulated LCD - kids are all about low angle shots, and those are a necessity.
Any questions, hit me up.

I had a prior x100t that I broke in Scotland, miss it. Great series of cameras.

Fuji lenses top to bottom are the best line. Even the cheapest (XC line) are as good as most Canon or Nikon sub $1,000 lenses.
The typical "kit" lens for Fuji is the XF18-55, and it's far better than any other kit lens I've tried.
For right at $2500 you can get the Fuji XH-1 and 16-55 lens. Comes with a battery grip with two additional batteries which is awesome.
The 16-55 is as sharp a zoom as you'll find and it's fast all the way through F22. It doesn't have lens stabilization, but the XH-1 has built in stabilization.
It's an incredible setup for $2500. Weather sealed, IBIS, fantastic autofocus system.

I have the X100T, not the F, but I agree that the X100 is a great series and is perfect for traveling/day trips.
I do want to get a DSLR eventually, but haven't pulled the trigger. My BIL has the Canon 7D and I've been very impressed with the shots he has been able to get with it.
