2. Pack Smart: Bring essentials like sunscreen, water bottles, and comfortable shoes. A small first aid kit can also be very handy.
3. Stay Flexible: Be ready to change your plans if the weather changes or if something unexpected comes up. Sometimes, the best moments happen when you least expect them.
4. Take Breaks: Make sure to rest and relax, especially if you’re traveling with young children. Find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy a snack.
5. Capture Memories: Take lots of photos and videos to remember your trip. Encourage your kids to keep a travel journal or draw pictures of their favorite moments.
