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?
If you really look at it, traditional places that are meant for kids are expensive and not always thrilling for adults. Disney World and Disneyland are overdone cliches. Possibly nice for a visit, but not your yearly holiday. Fortunately, the US has a mass of land with a multitude of unexplored places that can engage and excite a childs mind for ages. The best way to plan your next adventure is to pick a few places, explain why they are interesting, and get the family to vote via secret ballot. Then you have a destination.
You need to have some awesome tunes while driving to thee destination. Classics that really are about the freedom of road, that the whole family can sing along too. Try Country Road and destination songs like Sweet Home Alabama. Anything by the Beach Boys seems to be a hit with kids too.
Food has to be included. It is expensive to eat at diners, and unhealthy. Make smart snacks at home like granola bars with chocolate coating, popcorn, quiches, and real fruit juice popsicles. Some cheats are allowed so include those hot dogs. To entertain the family try tell some exciting stories about the areas you are driving through and about where you going. The legends of the Wild West are really hooking and perfect if you heading in the destination of say Arizona. Las Vegas will always call for tales about aliens. If you going in the more forested north, you can try give them some scary ghost stories, or Bigfoot tales.
This will keep everyone in the car glued to the windows for a long while as they try to spot famous landmarks which can be real or fabricated. The point is to engage the fertile imaginations of young children and distract them so the complaining is less!
Destinations are also important to think of when you plan your trip. Money is often a factor that prevents families from going away, but camping is fun (if you want it to be) and there are usually places nearby that you can go to. Google the most interesting camping destinations in America, or the most unique to find those that will delight the younger members of your clan.
Involve your family with planning the yearly trip right from the start. Together, draw up a bucket list of places you all want to go to. Then have a secret ballot to see if there is a majority and then you have a fair process which results in a destination. You can also plan destination trips with your childrens interests in mind. With the current boom in IT and science, a trip to Cape Canaveral is interesting and unusual.
There are so many things to consider when travelling with kids. However, if you want your trip to be more enjoyable, make it more child friendly. Get the family to be part of the decision making process.
