taking holiday breaks with children
When traveling with small children, it is important to try to keep your child’s likes and dislikes in mind when selecting a destination. I can tell you this cos’ we just got back from a month’s break with our three year old!
I have been asked about where would be our next vacation be for this year and many are wondering if we will consider holidays in the UK. The answer is a firm and bold ‘yes’! I believe the website of Pontins is a timely discovery as I take a close look at UK breaks for 2008.
Since I’m talking about thinking through the destinations with chidlren, short breaks may be a good start for those who are new to traveling with children. While an amusement park—with the rides, costumes, food and fun—might sound great, children might disagree when they’re too small to actually ride the rides. How much fun is it to sit in a stroller while the older kids ride the roller coaster, or to wave to Mommy from Daddy’s arms on the shore as her paddle boat passes by?
National parks and other outdoor attractions attract kids of all ages. The younger ones will appreciate the chance to run around and play, while the older ones might be interested in the science or history of the site.
If you are lost on where to begin your search, Pontins has listed out some cool suggestions including the top breaks and the list of events and highlights in 2008. There are group travel deals available and also special vacation ideas for those over 50… whatever kind of break you like, you are sure to find something fun, interesting, valuable and affordable. Did I also mention that Pontins is also a resource for those looking for accommodation for your UK holiday breaks?
