Summer Tips For Traveling With The Kids!

If you and your family are taking a summer vacation, one of your biggest challenges will be to stay sane. Here are some tips to help ease stress for parents and kids alike on that summer road trip:

Be a Parent First and a Traveler Second – A hug, smile and some TLC go a long way.

Plan the Journey- Map everything out ahead of time and take the notes with you.

Play Along the Way – Build extra playtime into the schedule and make rest stops frequent and fun.

Eat Healthy – As tempting as it will be to offer sugary snacks and drinks, do your best to pack nutritious food and extra water. Having the kids eat a bunch of junk food could be a recipe for disaster.

Take Familiar Objects – Pack the pillows, dolls, toys, blankets and stuffed animals that make the kids feel at home.
