1 Plan Ahead

Research your destination and activities in advance to avoid last-minute stress and ensure availability for popular summer attractions.

2 Pack Light, Pack Right!

Pack the essentials like quality sunscreen, protective hats, swimsuits, and lightweight clothing suitable for the your destination’s anticipated weather.

3 Stay Hydrated

Carry reusable water bottles and replenish your electrolytes – particularly during heat advisories or during rigorous outdoor activity.

4 Travel During Off-Peak Times

Prices may rise during the summer travel season. For your next trip, consider weekdays or shoulder seasons to avoid crowds and exorbitant costs with your family.

5 Craft A Flexible Itinerary

Plan activities but leave some room for spontaneous exploration or planned relaxation. When balancing your itinerary, be mindful of your family’s pace and interest.

6 Safety First

Discuss safety measures with your family, including meeting locations and emergency contacts. Ensure everyone has necessary medications and knows their location.

7 Kids Entertainment

Pack light, but it never hurts to include a book, game, or activity for the kids to enjoy during travel downtime between your family excursions.

8 Capture Memories

Take plenty of pictures at every stop. Encourage each family member to keep a travel journal or diary to document every adventure!

9 Budget Wisely

Set a budget for your outings including family dinners, souvenirs, and activities to avoid overspending. Look for deals and discounted options.

10 Enjoy Your Quality Time

This summer, use these precious opportunities to bond as a family, share special experiences, and create lifelong lasting memories together.
