We live in such a fast paced world, constantly inundated with tons of information each day, it’s great to take a break from time to time. My family is very tech savvy and constantly connected to social media platforms. I often stop and think just how much time I spend in front of my laptop and iPhone and realize that the years are slipping away and that I could one day regret not creating more memories with my family.
I decided that this year, we will do some weekend getaways and have some fun with the kids. Two weeks ago, we went to Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, GA and had a great time! Watching my kids smile and laugh (and scream on some rides) was great. No matter how busy you are, or how much money you stand to make, you can’t put a price tag on family memories.
This weekend, we are taking a trip to Daytona Beach, FL to visit some friends. I found a great condo with plenty of activities for the kids and a great view of the beach. My kids love road trips and so do my wife and I (usually more so at the beginning and end of the trip, not so much in the middle). I’m looking forward to relaxing by the pool and spending some quiet evenings on the balcony with my amazing wife.
I also did a little planning ahead and bought some tickets from CityPass for a trip to Atlanta, GA in the next few weeks. CityPass is a great deal and is offered in several major cities. Basically, you buy the pass which includes admission to several main attractions in that city for a lot less than the general admission. I can’t wait to take the kids to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coke.
Take time to plan some family trips, even if they are just a one day trips, your kids will never forget the memories you make with them.
