As you can imagine, kids are unpredictable, and we sometimes have to abide by their schedules. Between the naps, scheduled feeding times, and temper tantrums, you might not get to see as much each day as you’d hoped.
Instead of jumping around from place to place, consider spending more time in one location. Not only will you feel less rushed, but you’ll also have more time to see the sights and attractions you want.
2. Plan to see less.
The truth is, you probably won’t be able to tick off everything on your bucket list. While this can be a little disappointing, it’s better if you set realistic expectations of what you’re able to accomplish during your travels.
If you have a regimented list, it’s inevitable that things might not go according to plan (remember, the kiddos always operate on their own schedules!).
3. Create a child-friendly space.
If you’re planning to be on the road for a while, make sure you set aside a small space for your kids. In our van, we had a little area where Hunter could relax and play.
We even filled up a basket with her favourite books, plushies, and toys. Therefore, she always had a place to go and play, even if we were driving for hours at a time.
It can be difficult to establish a habit with kids while you’re away from home, but this can help make things a bit easier!
