The point of working for parents is to enjoy what they earn by spending quality time with their children in leisure activities and family vacations. The the 80's band Loverboy, delivered the right message for every working person in their song "Working for the Weekend."

Family Resorts - When choosing a resort, choose one that would cater to every member of the family. Kid-friendly resorts such as Club Med Ixtapa in Mexico and Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida are some of the top choices of well-traveled families.
Busch Gardens - Whether you are into an African adventure or a European flair, there is a Busch Gardens destination for you. Have a theme park experience with a safari setting in Tampa, Florida or with the sophistication of Europe in Williamsburg, Virginia. Take your pick.
Factory Tours - What makes factory tours exciting and fun for the kids (and the kids at heart) are all the freebies - chocolates from Hershey's Chocolate World in Pennsylvania, Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory in Vermont or Jelly Belly Factory in Wisconsin. Life is indeed really sweet!
Water Parks - Take the family to the Ranging Waters in California, Water World in Denver or Disney's Blizzard Beach in Florida. Wherever you go, your kids will definitely have fun in the water.
Themed Vacations - Vacations that come in themes are interesting and exciting. You will be surprised by how much your family will be into them. Be it conquering all the roller coasters in Europe or going on a road trip and camping in national parks, the kids will surely enjoy crossing out one destination after another.
Amusement Parks - The classic family vacation idea of all time. Children will never get tired of theme parks. Choose from a very wide selection of theme parks around the world: Sea World and Universal in Orlando, Disneyland in Anaheim, Disneyland Paris...the list will go on.
Quick family trip planning tips:
- Plan ahead, but allow for variables. Relax during your trip and just go with the flow.
- Include a range of activities with at least one first choice chosen by each child. That way, they will be more agreeable to going along with other activities knowing they will get their own choice later on.
- Schedule in some down-time for everybody. It will be nice for everyone to get some free time to do their own thing.
