Vacationing With Kids- What Works - a podcast by Margaret Ables and Amy Wilson

 The biggest drawback to vacationing with kids may be this: wherever you go, your kids will still actually be with you. 
 But seriously… successful traveling as a family means keeping everyone happy. That doesn’t mean your choice of vacation destination needs to revolve around your kids, but it does mean your expectations for sightseeing or miles logged per day might need to be somewhat flexible. After all, you have even less of an escape from your kids complaining while on vacation than you do when you’re at home. And despite all the hassles, we both love traveling with our kids. Even when it’s not easy, it’s always worth the journey. So this episode is full of ideas for creating family vacations with appeal for all age groups, whether you’re going across the state or around the world.
 We discuss: 
 the wonders of RV travel why the anticipation of a trip can be as much fun as the trip itself
 the indispensability of Ziploc bags how older kids will accept sightseeing when it is offered with a tiny side order of danger
 our listeners’ very best travel-with-kids tips
