to go to for -VS- to go for

Dear Teachers,Emotion: smile

What is the difference between "to go to for" and "to go for"?
Here are the examples which I don't understand:
I've had a lot of places to go to for my family. (my own sentence)
It is among the favorite places to go for my family and me. (found with Google)
Does the second exemple need to use "to go to for" instead of "to go for?"

Many thanks in advance.

Hello SFB It is likely you are studying as hard as ever. As for your question, I think both are OK though 'without to ' seems more colloquial and idiomatic. 'Place' is a queer noun.
