That's a tough one for sure, but if you are vacationing with some smaller members of the gang, your ideas of fun and theirs might be a bit off. But whether you are planning a beach escape, a big city adventure, or a theme park getaway you can stock up on some neat, simple tricks to keep your pre-schoolers happy in any setting. Here are few tips to keep everyone happy no matter where you go...
Go Digital: Not you, the kids! Invest in a children's digital camera and let them capture the moments...
Happy Hunting: A lot of destinations, museums and theme parks particularly, have some sort of scavenger hunt-like activity for kids to give them a little motivation to enjoy the setting. Call ahead or go online to see what is offered. If they don't have one, do a little research and make up your own!
Let's Split Up!: Depending on what sort of trip you are taking, your destination is likely to have options for activities for your kids to enjoy while you get in some time on your own. Check with your hotel or resort to see what they offer and see if there are any other local destinations that have offerings as well.
Find a happy medium: Add a stop at a place that caters to fun for all ages. There are several parks around the country that offer that opportunity. Great Wolf Lodge is a perfect example of such a place. As a hotel and indoor water park, they have a a unique and convenient offering.
