Family Travel

A family vacation can sound like BLISS!! But for most of us, it requires some work and compromise to make it fun.
It can be exhausting. The waiting in lines, the flights, the bad food (or lack of good food options) can all take their toll.
Also, since most of us rarely get away, we set our expectations and those of our entire family too high. I am as guilty as anyone of doing this. On our last trip to Florida, my wife and I made the conscious decision that we were going to RELAX as a family. Not just go all out because it is rarely fun. So, yes, we did go to the theme parks. But, we did not get their when they opened nor were we there when they closed.
We planned and packed well. Don’t bring TOO much, it will just exhaust you. Bring a few quality things that your kids like, some healthy snacks and water. You don’t really need 14 t-shirts when you are only going for 4 days, do you?
A little planning, good packing and some compromise can make your family vacation awesome!!
