Give Travel a Chance

Why the efforts of planning and taking a vacation are worth it

Just a minute, back-to-school sales—summer’s not over yet! Before July slips through your fingertips, it is more than possible to plan a summer trip or outing that will satisfy your itch to travel. But don’t expect a utopian getaway. While you may be undated with images of seemingly perfect vacations in your Instagram feeds from friends and influencers alike, keep in mind that no typical family’s vacation is devoid of whining, arguing, stress and threats to turn this car around. But we shouldn’t ditch travel for those reasons alone. Read on to be reminded of the benefits of travel for families, regardless of the chaos that may ensue. Despite any reservations you may have about taking a trip, make reservations instead. Expect a perfectly imperfect family trip, and you might just be pleasantly surprised.
