Travel Family vacations are a wonderful way to establish traditions, memories,
and bonding experiences. However, money and time are always
limitations.
There is a small window between when your children are of
the age to appreciate traveling (around 8-10) and the age where their
own activities start taking precedence (14-16).
In order to take
advantage of the time you have with them, make a list of places that
you would really like to visit. Plot out your time availability –
spring breaks, summer, winter holidays and plan accordingly. Keep this
travel TO DO list updated and strive to make the trips happen. Its hard
to understand just how fast time goes by until your children are in
middle school!
The Family Destination list includes numerous highly
recommended and family-tested TO DOs to visit; best ages to enjoy have also been
included. |

A Special Tip Are you dreading your next long car trip with the kids? Are you
thinking of buying a portable DVD player for the car with head phones
for each child so that for the 6 hour trip everyone will be entranced
in a variety of movies while you and your spouse take turns driving
and sleeping? Well there is an alternative TO DO – try a book-on-tape!
Granted if your children’s ages vary greatly, tape selection will be a
bit trickier but it is possible. There are some great books-on-tape out
there that can be enjoyed by the whole family. You will even find
yourselves sitting in the car at your destination waiting for the end
of the chapter!
You will also find them great just to listen to with
the kids when you’re driving to their sporting activities or just doing
chores around town. Check out this list of wonderful stories TO DO! |
