Get the Most Out of Your Vacation with the Grandparents

Vacationing with the grandparents gives you and your kids the chance to score some major bonding time as a family. If you are getting ready to plan a trip in St. Louis with your family, use the following tips to make the most out of your time together:
 
Book Separate Rooms
Spending time with the family is a truly special experience. Spending time with your family in extremely close quarters can become a ticking time bomb, however. It is very important to book separate rooms for the grandparents so everyone has their own space where they can enjoy some alone time and regroup before the next big group activity. Booking separate rooms helps you avoid unnecessary conflicts and make the most out of your vacation time.
 
Keep It Relaxed
Trying to fill the schedule with too many activities can stress everyone out and make it much more difficult to enjoy the vacation. While it is perfectly fine to plan a few activities in advance, try to leave a little bit of time for spontaneity. Finding the right balance between planning and just enjoying some downtime makes it easier to get the most out of your vacation.
 
Show Your Gratitude
Try to go into your vacation with an appreciative attitude that helps you feel grateful instead of stressed out. If your mother starts to nag you about your appearance, try to appreciate the fact that she wants the best for you. Let the older adults tell stories about past vacations they have had so your family can learn more about its own heritage.
