Are you about to embark on a vacation adventure for the
whole family? This can be stress inducing
or full of exciting anticipation.
Depending on the ages of your children, road trips can certainly be a
cause for anxiety. Follow these recommendations from the travel professionals
and you’ll soon be on the road to making memories destined to last a lifetime.
If you’re heading to the beach, be sure to book your trip
well in advance to ensure a large selection of homes from which to choose. If
you’ve decided on a trip to the Florida amusement parks, consider taking
advantage of the awesome savings offered by Groupon coupons and check out the
deals available at Best of Orlando.
You’ll appreciate the savings as you accumulated restaurant and gas
station tabs!
Ensure that your car has been properly serviced. This should
include tire and oil checks as well as wiper blade condition. There’s nothing
worse than breaking down on the side of the road with a car full of young
children and a trunk full of luggage. If necessary, run your car through the
car wash to start your trip with a clean interior and exterior.
Enlist the children, where age appropriate, in selecting
games for the car trip. An overload of videos will result in very cranky
children on arrival. Not only that, you’ll be missing an opportunity to engage
and bond with your family if they’re glued to video games for the duration of
the trip. Word games, card games and
magnetic board games are a few of the options available. Select snacks for the
trip. These should be healthy snacks that are low on sugar and high in protein.
The last thing you want to do is feed children an abundance of sugar and have
them overstimulated during a long road trip.
Finally, take plenty of pictures. The time with small
children often seems like the longest days and the shortest years. This is a
trip they will remember for years. Having pictures to stimulate those memories
will be an added bonus!
