Planning a vacation when you have kids can be challenging. They are normally pretty hyperactive and need constant supervision. They get bored very quickly and cries of can we go now? or how much longer till we get there? are normal. So how do you stay sane as an adult and still ensure that both you and your children have a good time away? Machu Picchu tour package make fun for everybody.
Aside from being quite costly, Disneyland is a major cliched experience. It is great to go if you have not been, but as a regular family vacation, it will grow stale quickly. You have many options. The best way to decide what to do on your next vacation is to sit the family down, draw up a list of possibilities on a sheet of paper, and get a secret ballot going. Then you go where the majority wants to go.
First, you have to get to your destination though. It is obviously cheaper to drive but this is a nightmare for most parents. You should make this more pleasant with a little planning.
And do not forget the hotdogs! Although these do not fall under healthy cheats and treats are allowed, and many little ones love them. In addition to food, games for the road need to be played. You can go traditional with I spy or look up the history and regale the family with some excellent tales. For instance, anything to do with gun-slinging cowboys and Native American wars will be perfect for the West. You cannot go wrong with aliens for trips past Las Vegas, and Big Foot will delight in the more northern, forested areas. Why not get the family to create a story chain where each adds their own bit to the story?
Whatever the destination, from New York to Florida, you have to do your homework. Research the route, the great viewpoints, the sites to see along the way, and the destination. Then excite the family by giving them a slideshow about all of this a week or two before you leave. You will have more interested children who may whine less in the car.
Destinations are generally the most important part of the trip, and also the most expensive. Keep it simple. Make the whole family part of the plan and have them researching the most interesting aspects of your destination, from archaeology to fauna and flora. This will enliven their minds as to how much there is to see and do.

Alternatively, there may be national monuments that your children have a real interest in. Either way, make sure you draw up that bucket list of destinations and go to one a year.
There are so many things to consider when travelling with kids. However, if you want your trip to be more enjoyable, make it more child friendly. Get the family to be part of the decision making process.
