Planning a family trip sounds simple at first; you just pick somewhere to go, book a stay, pack the bags, and head out. But once you factor in loads of different things, such as ages, interests, and energy levels, it can feel like you're putting on a small production.
The good news is, though, that a great family trip doesn't have to be complicated. There's no need for you to jam-pack a schedule or have a long list of attractions that you need to see. What you need is a little bit of balance, a little bit of structure and flexibility, and a few shared plans with plenty of space for downtime.
Here's how you can plan a trip that leaves everybody with good memories, not just loads of photos.
So, the quickest way to make a road trip feel miserable is to treat it like a mission to “get there.” Because once the whole day becomes mileage, traffic, and bathroom breaks, the trip turns into transportation, not a vacation. It just turns you into focusing on the road to get from point A to point B; it doesn’t make the road trip screen-free. In fact, the car ride itself isn’t the experience; it’s not fun, it’s just none of that!
But when the drive itself gets a little intention behind it, like comfort, pacing, and one or two genuinely fun moments, the whole thing starts feeling like the holiday it was supposed to be, wouldn’t you agree with that? But how can you actually make the car ride just as enjoyable as everything else during the road trip?
