My last family vacation

Whether it’s summer break or a long weekend, there is always a good reason to get the family together for a well deserved holiday. There are numerous activities that are suitable for the whole family, from lodging in the woods or joining a camp together, to going on a ski trip. The purpose is to create memories and deepen bonds, so whatever it is you choose to do, it is important to take time out from your busy schedule to enjoy a vacation with family every once in a while. 

Going on a cruise

What better way to spend time together than on a cruise? Between mealtimes, the whole family can hit the gym together or enjoy some time at the pool. There are usually an in-house mall or theme park which everyone can partake in. Furthermore, there is the spa for the missus, a casino for the mr and a whole load of activities for the kids. When the kids settle in for the night, the parental unit can have a quiet night to themselves. Or, they can always utilize the kids club and leave them to their own devices so that mom and dad can have a long-awaited romantic date night. This is a particularly good choice for those with young kids because everything is close at hand and you can go back to your room at any time for a quick bath, get a change of clothes or go on a diaper run. 

Visit the happiest place on earth

Disneyland has been touted as the ‘happiest place on earth’ since its conception and truly it is a sight to behold for every park visitor, whether young or old. Families can opt to add Disneyland in as a day-trip or book an on-site resort and have the full experience. Being a theme park, there will not be a lack of things to do and since it is a family park, there will be facilities to accommodate anything from adult smokers like vapor solo shop to baby feeding areas or nappy zones. The great thing about visiting Disneyland is that there are many tips and tricks on mommy blogs and travel sites that will be able to help with wait time, sticking to a budget, etc. 

Rent an RV and go on a road trip

Being cooped up in a small space for extended periods of time will ultimately strengthen the bonds you have with your family members as you will have to accommodate each other’s little quirks. Instead of calling all the shots, let your family members each have some input about where to go. This will make it seem more of a family event and less of an obligation. Whether it is making a pit stop at a wildlife park for your two year old who is interested in animals, a particular town or city for your teenager or even a two night stop-over for a diving expedition. It will also help to create more excitement and there will be something for each to look forward to, ultimately making unforgettable memories which will last a lifetime.
