Is it possible to take a family vacation that is stress free?
Probably not, but this weekend I am attempting to take a decreased stress trip
with the family. Here are my strategies:
- Pack/prepare as much as you can the night before. This should help lessen the running around in the morning in a scattered manner
- Make a list as you go of things you do
not want to forget (i.e. camera, power cords, sunscreen)
- Check off the list as
you pack items
- Set an estimated departure time in
pencil
- Traveling with
children is full of the unknown, make sure to leave ample wiggle time
- Bring healthy snacks for the car ride to
prevent stops at McDonalds
- We packed a cooler of
healthy snacks including organic string cheese, almonds, fresh fruit, and
plenty of water to sip on.
- Cross your fingers and hope that your
child cooperates in the car
- Lastly, remember that you are on
vacation, which means to take your time and relax. If you are taking a
long car ride, make sure to look out the windows and enjoy the scenery
along the way.
