So like I said a few days ago, family
vacations are on my mind a lot lately! I think family vacations are so
important. Everyone needs a chance to get away and relax a bit, and the
memories made on family vacations last a lifetime! But traveling as a family
with small children can be very stressful sometimes and that’s why I think
resorts like www.heritagehillsresort.com
are the way to go!
Adults can just go with the flow,
sightseeing and doing vacation-y things by the hour and grabbing a bite to eat
whenever they want; it’s different when you have kids. Kids (my kids especially—or
maybe it’s just my kids??) really
thrive on structure. We do pretty much the same routine every day of the week,
and whenever it changes, my kids struggle to adjust. That can make going on a vacation
REALLY HARD, especially when we are traveling with other people that don’t
really understand why we need to know exactly what we are going to do and when.
Instead of relaxing and enjoying ourselves, sometimes I feel like going on vacation
as a family is even more work for the parents than staying home and doing our
normal thing! In fact, I often come back more exhausted and in need of a break
than I was before we left.
One huge benefit of going to a resort is
that it takes a lot of the guesswork out of traveling with kids and keeping to
a routine. Resorts have everything all together: food, entertainment, spas for
Mom to relax, fun things for the kids to do. Instead of spending the morning
sightseeing, then scrambling to figure out something for lunch while your kids
have a meltdown because they are overtired and hungry, then driving back to the
hotel for afternoon naps (if the kids can settle down enough to fall asleep!),
then waiting around for everyone to get it together so you can squeeze
something in before dinner, resorts can let you really relax because there’s no
scrambling around—it’s all just right there, waiting to be enjoyed!
So enjoy yourself—you’re on vacation!
