There’s a reason why there wasn’t an official kids’ day when we were growing up. It’s because if you ask Mom and Dad, that day was every day. Whether it was that 6 AM ice time or the 4 birthday parties in one weekend, our folks put in the work. So, they deserve more than a day to honor them, and Regina + Christine suggest you go big with a trip. They take it a step further too, and give you the reasons, tips and survival tricks in some cases for the most memorable trips to take with your parents.
Say it With Travel
Family trips have come a long way if you grew up in the 80s and 90s. There was a reason that National Lampoons was a movie that so many of us could relate to. However, as much as family trips have come a long way, so has your relationship with your parents. There is something about the family trip that is just different than taking your parents to dinner. Maybe it's the Coliseum as your backdrop, or looking up at the Sistine Chapel with Mom. If you stop to really think about it though, it's the extended quality time with your family. Unlike a visit to your parent's house, you're in a totally new environment, spending meals for days. Even if you're skeptical about how that will play out, spending dedicated time with your parents as an adult is an experience few will regret. You may even like it so much that trips to take with your parents will become an annual tradition.
