1. Quality time like no other
When was the last time you and your family truly had time for each other? You might have a family meal every evening, or help your children with their homework. But to have a bonding moment, it’s good to step away from your responsibilities and enjoy free time and create new memories. It’s also a great way for you and your children to create a tight relationship with your extended family. This type of quality time is very hard to achieve during the buzz of daily life, as everyone has a schedule to follow. So take your time and plan a real getaway where you have nothing but each other to worry about!
2. Experiencing new things
Allow your loved ones to explore their capabilities and learn new things on vacation. You might fall in love with hiking or watersports, which you’ll only discover when you’re out on vacation. You can also learn a lot about history by visiting historic sites and surrounding yourself with new cultures all around the world. For your children it’s important to explore new activities to get to know their passions, so allow them to try out as many new things as possible on vacation!
3. Reduce stress
We all bring our work home sometimes. What we forget is that this can negatively affect our children. A study showed that 75% of children notice that their parents bring their work home, and six out of seven experience stress at home. Parents who take time off to spend with their kids are more (positively) responsive to their children’s problems. Teach your loved ones the importance of leisure time and set the right example by going out for a relaxing week at the beach or in the woods!
4. A family road trip
To make the bonding experience even greater and to make the journey as much fun as the destination, a vacation by car is a great option. Singing along to the radio, playing games in the car, and stopping at gorgeous landmarks can bring people together. If you have a big family, you might want to consider renting a bus for your road trip, such as a Mercedes Vito (in Dutch: Mercedes Vito huren). This bus has nine comfortable seats and enough room for everyone’s suitcases. If you want to travel with maximum comfort, then opt for renting a Mercedes V-Class (in Dutch: Mercedes V-Klasse huren). This bus also holds nine people but will bring a true VIP experience.
Are you convinced and eager to book your family vacation? Great! Have fun and enjoy the time together!
