It is time for you and the family to take a vacation! Whether it is a road trip, a trip to Disney, or a sandy beach vacation, we want to help you plan the ultimate family getaway that caters to each member of your family! It should be the perfect mix of fun in the sun for the kids and relaxing for the parents, and we will help you do just that.
Bring along the kiddos, grandparents, and any other family members! It is the time to embark on a multigenerational vacation. Planning a trip for multiple age groups can be a challenge, but don’t worry, you aren’t limited to a cruise or typical week at a Disney resort. Skip the traditional vacation and create long-lasting memories and stronger bonds on one of these bucket-list trips for all ages.
Family vacations provide the perfect time to bond with your loved ones, but spending so much time together can quickly go from exciting to disastrous. With a bit of planning it will ensure a smooth and blissful vacation this summer, and setting realistic expectations can help your family from quickly plunging into destruction and making it a trip to remember.
5 Vacations You Should Take With Your Kids Before They Grow Up
1. African Safari
Is there anything better than getting to observe majestic wildlife in their natural wildlife? When you take your kids on an African safari they will be the talk of the classroom when they return. Also, there is no better way to learn about animals then being up close and personal with them!
2. Disney Theme Parks
Kids or adults… who doesn’t have a dream to escape to a land of fairy tales and magic?! With thrilling adventures and carnival-like parades and Mickey Mouse and characters running around, how could it not be the happiest place on earth?!
3. European Road Trip
Mix your family vacation up and let your kiddos throw darts at a Europe map and turn it into a road trip! With these vastly different countries squeezed into a small area, you have the freedom to visit monuments in ancient Rome and Greece, then kicking back on the water in Nice, France, all the way to a mountain village. An adventure of a lifetime for the whole family.
4. U.S. National and State Parks
North America has 58 national parks! Whether you and the family want to bike, drive, hike, raft, or go horseback you will create special memories with special people. Imagine the awe in your kids eyes when they see the Milky Way for the first time with no light pollution.
5. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef
Talk about a once in a lifetime activity! It doesn’t matter how old your children are or what their level of swimming is because the boat the guides will always help out. Your kiddos will never forget swimming alongside dolphins, reef sharks, turtles, and Dory + Nemo in real life!
Now that my sons are young men, the one regret I have is that we didn’t travel more. Our family vacations are some of our best memories we have together. We still talk and laugh about them. Travel opened up the world to them and enriched their lives in a way that neither I nor their schooling could never have done.
