AS SUMMER APPROACHES AND SCHOOL GETS OUT FOR THE SUMMER, MANY PEOPLE WILL BEGIN PLANNING FAMILY VACATIONS!

WHETHER YOUR VACATION IS A ROAD TRIP ITSELF, OR THERE ARE A FEW HOURS OR MORE DRIVE TO YOUR DESTINATION

HERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO MAKE THE MOST OF AN EXTENDED DRIVE WITH YOUR FAMILY.

Whether you have an elaborate trip on the road planned or just a few hours drive to your vacation destination

having an on-the-road plan is a great way to enjoy the journey.

Check the map to see if there are any places that would be fun to make a brief stop,

make sure to have plenty of snacks packed for your children, plan a few games or things for entertainment ahead of time.

Though you may do just fine to just load your kiddos and luggage and hit the road, having a plan is a sure way to avoid road weary tantrums or to at least be prepared to face them when they come.

The rest of the ideas in this post are some things to consider when making your plans.

Enjoying the journey of a vacation is often just as important and fun as the vacation itself!
