5 Tips for a Stress-Free Vacation with Kids

This time of year brings family time, days without school, and the magic of summer vacation. While it may be a season that everyone looks forward to, vacation planning often causes stress which can take away from the joys of these getaways.  My kids range in age from tween, teen, college and adults, and coordinating everyone’s schedules can get a little crazy! 5 Tips for a Stress-Free Vacation with Kids

So excited for our little family vacation in park city with kids and cousins. We are staying at the cutest condo. Happy Saturday – we’re off to explore main street 🙂 ❤️#vacation #getaway #ad #bevacationready @wyndhamvacationrentals

5 Tips for a Stress-Free Vacation with Kids 

So when Wyndham Vacation Rentals contacted me about taking my crazy crew on a last-minute getaway – I said yes! Wyndham Vacation Rentals mission is to help travelers get vacation ready this summer.

5 tips to plan a stress-free family vacation. Tips that will help you plan a wonderful family vacation for kids and adults of ALL ages!

We had such a wonderful time together at our Wyndham rental.

I thought I would share some tips on our trip and how to create a SUPER fun stress-free family tip with kids of ALL ages!

5 tips to plan a stress-free family vacation. Tips that will help you plan a wonderful family vacation for kids and adults of ALL ages!

  1. Involve your Kids in Planning Your Trip.  Park City was at the top of the list for us. There is so much to do there. Activities for everyone in our family. With so many schedules to coordinate around, going somewhere pretty close to our home made the trip less stressful. You don’t have to go somewhere far away to have a wonderful vacation.

2. Consider Renting a Condo instead of Hotel Rooms. Our Wyndham rental was a three story condo so there was room for everyone! It had three bedrooms, three baths, a BIG family room/kitchen open space which was great for family time. I loved having a kitchen. One morning I made everyone pancakes for breakfast! We went to the grocery store when we arrived to get breakfast and lunch supplies. That way we always had food for hungry teenagers and snacks for game night!

It was also super convenient because it had a washer and dryer so we could wash clothes that got dirty hiking and tubing! One day we went to the Utah Olympic Park and rode the zip lines and extreme tubing down the ski jumps! It was a day to remember!!

It’s pretty awe-inspiring to watch the US Olympic Team practicing at the @utaholympicpark 🙂 ????#kids #utah #parkcity #getaway #ad #momlife @wyndhamvacationrentals #bevacationready

3. Keep a Flexible Schedule. It’s great to research the city or area you are going to be visiting, but don’t have a schedule that is so rigid that you can’t add in a few last-minute things. For us I think the best part of exploring a new area is finding unexpected and out-of-the-way things to do and places to eat! For example, there is a really cool Haunted Tour of Park City that we didn’t know about before we planned the trip!

4. Plan for Downtime. With so many people on our trip, it was great to have a condo with so much room. One morning we explored the local farmer’s market and had breakfast, then we came back to the hotel and crashed for a couple of hours before we set out again to explore Main Street and all of the shops. That way if you have small kids with you, it’s easy to head back to the rental for naps in the middle of the day!

5. Use public transport. We often forget all of the travel conveniences of a city. If your travel destination is in a city with trains, buses or trolleys, use them! We drove to Park City but the condo we stayed at was 1 block away from the free trolley system that encompassed the town as well as a few of the other resorts in the area. It was SO fun to take the trolley. And driving less takes the stress out of driving around a new town or area.

We took it all along Main Street. And we took the free bus to Park City Mountain Resort where we rode the Alpine Slide!

    Kids? I clicked on the link thinking KIDS, you know, the ones that give you actual headaches. These are teens, they aren’t complaining they can’t walk and throw tantrums in the middle of a restaurant. You must have some pretty bratty teens to try to make sure you have a “stress-free” vacation.

    Hi Jen! Sure looks like you all had a blast! I guess it gets easier when the kids are already grown ups and can help you with the planning and all. But regardless, it’s always fun going on an adventure with the whole family!

    Oh I looooove heading up to Park City this time of year! I live down in the valley so it’s always so much cooler up there. I’ll have to check out the Wyndham rentals. And flexibility is the key to our sanity on family trips for sure!
