Sometimes it's the little things about a vacation that make it stand out. That make it truly relaxing. Jamie and I love vacation, and I would argue that we are a much healthier couple because we have learned how to rest and have retreat from the daily grind. We've had these little people for a while now, and we really like to vacation with them. However, it's the little things that we've learned about vacationing with them that made this trip one of our best.
Ready? Here goes: 1. Drive minimally once you finally arrive at your destination. We parked our car, unloaded the bikes and from that point on, we only really drove to one trailhead. The rest of the places and hikes, we walked to or biked. 2. Have good choices for free late afternoon activity that doesn't involve a lot of planning. Our destination had three large parks, at least 6 fountains that kiddos can play in, and an amazing children's garden with little educational tours and activities. 3. The money spent on a little bigger place is worth it for us to be able to have a place to read for a couple of hours after the boys went to bed. We've all stayed in one hotel room for an entire vacation, and though doable, the slightly larger place made it much more relaxing.
The boys, ready for a morning bike ride.
