Having family vacation once in a while is very important. Aside from it is the time for the kids to  have fun and learn new things, it is also the time for the parents to unwind and get away from tons of office work loads and everyday pressures in the household. Vacations also allow the family to reconnect, renew ties and most importantly, this is where most of the treasured memories are being created.

Due to financial constraints, we were not able to have our major vacation last summer as planned. Instead we just went swimming a few times with some friends and stayed overnight in a hotel on a weekend. Well, vacation need not always be a grand and expensive one. There are inexpensive ways to take that much needed breather like what we did. It can be a weekend in a nearby resort or a caravan park, a fishing, a road trip or simply a few days in your home town in the province. Simple places like these can help you get away from the city routines.

Vacation is the compensation for your hard work. Do not postpone your vacation just because you don’t have enough money for a grand one. You can still have fun and get experiences even in the cheapest and least exotic vacations. Remember that these experiences will contribute to you and your child happiness.
