We all save up for them. We all need one. Vacations help breath life back into your routine life and when they arrive, you want to make the most of them. Whether it's a trip across country or state, whether it's taking in the theme park you've been saving for years for, whether it's hanging on the beach. A plan for the day will help ease tensions that may run in the family.
7 Helpful Tips
Breakfast: Eating together first thing in the morning will bring everyone together and bond the day together. Parent's get your morning coffee!
A Morning Sightsee: A stroll through the lobby of your hotel to look at the koi swimming in the fountain, a walk on the beach, or a quick trip to the convenience store for daily snacks for the road trip. Seeing things together provide conversation materials for the day.
A Plan: What are you doing for the day? Prepare for accidents but don't get hung up on it. Things happen and those will be the memories you remember. Don't forget to laugh!
Dinner: Are you cooking out or cooking in? Restaurant? Getting ready for the evening is always a fun part of the day. Dress it up a notch one evening and pretend you are someone famous.
Kids to bed at a reasonable hour: It's their vacation too but as a parent you need your breathing room! If you can afford a suite, Get it! Put the kids in the bedroom and shut the door. It may not be as comfortable as the the bed but the pullout couch will sleep just fine.
Enjoy a nightcap: Sit and relax with a glass of wine or a beer and talk over the day with your loved one.
Remember Life's A Journey: You may not have the perfect day but practice makes perfect and it's vacay! Enjoy! Work will be calling soon enough.
