It's that time of the year again....Family vacation time! Family vacations can sometimes be stressful but don't have to be. If your planning a vacation in the near future try these 5 simple tips when traveling with kids. They can even work for those teenagers in your family.
1. Snacks! Always have snacks with you on trips. This will help turn the crabby kid into a happy kid. Try...fruit snacks, mini candy bars, granola bars, or trail mix.
2. Band Aids! You know the kids are always hurting themselves so it never hurts to have some extra band aids on hand.
3. Sanitary Wipes! If you don't have a bathroom around and need to clean up, a small pack of these is a good idea. Or you can use them to wipe down tables or places to sit if you are out and about.
4. Small Electronics! Down time and boredom are bound to occur during a vacation. Or, one kid is interested in something while the other kid is not. Bring the...Game Boy, Nintendo DS, DVD player or electronic card game player along.
5. Plastic Bag! It is a great idea to have these with when trekking around on a family vacation. If it has rained and you need a place to sit you can use them as a chair cover. Or, if the kiddos have stuff with them they can place it in their bag. It makes it easier for them to carry things and you don't have to lug everything around for them.
Try these 5 ideas the next time you take a family vacation. If you need an alternative, small and inexpensive vacation this summer try the following:
