Traveling is a boatload of fun, but it can also be stressful, especially when you are traveling with children. Here are some tips for traveling with children:

• First of all, remember not to cram too many things into your itinerary. You want enough planned so that the kids don’t get bored, but kids don’t travel at the same pace as couples would. So slow your pace just a bit.
• To keep things more stress-free, expect the unexpected, and try to stay as positive as possible during unforeseen events. Anything that can happen, just might!
• Bring a few comforts from home, like portable music players, books, a few toys or games.
• Make it a memorable vacation by making sure that each family member gets to do something they love.
• Be flexible. It can save you a ton of cash on flights and accommodations. For instance, summer (when your kids are off from school) is low season in Florida – when rates are lower. Take advantage of this. It’s a great time to visit Disney, Sea World, Kennedy Space Center and more!
• Staying in a condo, like Sandpiper Condominiums, is also a nice way to enjoy your vacation and save money. They are just steps from the beach, and you can make meals “at home” to keep your vacation cost-effective.
• Pack smart and comfortable.
• Try to stay in kid-friendly hotels with a pool to make things more fun, and places to eat with kids’ menus.
• Don’t forget to take lots of pictures. There will be lots of smiles you don’t want to miss!
