Fun family vacations may sound like a paradox. Many parents think about the looming doom of the high energy levels, and quick descent to boredom that most children experience while getting to a destination, and at the destination itself. There are so many well-known and repetitive complaints that come from children, especially with a Machu Picchu Tour Package, that the thought of actually doing a family getaway and returning with your sanity intact is something you do not believe is possible. So how do you have a vacation that is fun for adults and kids?
Aside from being quite costly, Disneyland is a major cliched experience. It is great to go if you have not been, but as a regular family vacation, it will grow stale quickly. You have many options. The best way to decide what to do on your next vacation is to sit the family down, draw up a list of possibilities on a sheet of paper, and get a secret ballot going. Then you go where the majority wants to go.
With children many complain that road trips are especially agonizing. They do not have to be. Rocking beats that the whole family can sing along to should be the order of the day. Great road trip songs include Sweet Home Alabama, Country Road, and normally anything by the Beach Boys. These all seem to go down a treat with little ones and helps them to work out some of their excess energy.
And do not forget the hotdogs! Although these do not fall under healthy cheats and treats are allowed, and many little ones love them. In addition to food, games for the road need to be played. You can go traditional with I spy or look up the history and regale the family with some excellent tales. For instance, anything to do with gun-slinging cowboys and Native American wars will be perfect for the West. You cannot go wrong with aliens for trips past Las Vegas, and Big Foot will delight in the more northern, forested areas. Why not get the family to create a story chain where each adds their own bit to the story?
Whatever the destination, from New York to Florida, you have to do your homework. Research the route, the great viewpoints, the sites to see along the way, and the destination. Then excite the family by giving them a slideshow about all of this a week or two before you leave. You will have more interested children who may whine less in the car.
Destinations are generally the most important part of the trip, and also the most expensive. Keep it simple. Make the whole family part of the plan and have them researching the most interesting aspects of your destination, from archaeology to fauna and flora. This will enliven their minds as to how much there is to see and do.
Additionally, the US has some amazing places to visit. Draw up a bucket list of some of the things your family would like to see or do. Alternatively, there may be national monuments that your children have a real interest in. Either way, make sure you draw up that bucket list of destinations and go to one a year.
However, with a little planning you can make the trip a much more enjoyable experience for your entire Brady Bunch. So get creative, use the net, and find unique places to explore that the whole family will enjoy.
