Essentials You Need For Your Next Family Trip

Essentials You Need For Your Next Family Trip

 

Whether for a week, a couple of days or even just overnight, planning a family trip can be fun and exciting, but also stressful. Making sure your whole family is on the same page while ensuring you don’t forget to plan or pack anything can be a lot to deal with, especially if there are younger children involved in your trip! There are some essentials that every family needs to consider when planning their next getaway and we’ve taken off some of that pressure with curating a list of essentials you need for every family trip!

Comfortable Shoes

Every family trip always comes with lots of walking! More walking than most would be accustomed to, especially for kids. Be sure to pack a pair of comfortable shoes for everyone, in order to make the long trip a breeze.

Games

Kids are bound to get bored, especially if there’s a long road trip or plane involved! Pack a few games and small activities for younger children to play with to get their creative juices flowing and their eyes off a tablet for a while. Some ideas include colouring books, joke books or maybe even finger puppets!

First Aid Kit

A first aid kit is something that’s so important but often gets overlooked. Having a first aid kit comes handy in case of any accidents on the way to and during the trip.

Wipes

Wipes can be a lifesaver especially when travelling with kids. Carrying both wet wipes and disinfectant wipes can keep both your hands and/or surfaces clean, for a worry free trip.

Garbage Bags/Extra Reusable Bags

It’s always a good idea to carry around extra bags, specifically for dirty laundry that accumulates throughout the trip.

Proof Of Vaccination

Until further notice, many provinces including Ontario require proof of double vaccination alongside government issued photo ID to enter select establishments. Be sure you have this on hand when travelling.

Making sure your accommodations are in order before heading out on your family trip is always crucial in order to avoid a situation where rooms may not be available where you travel.

Why You Need A Staycation This Fall

Why You Need A Staycation This Fall

 

As the kids head to school and back to work is in full swing with fall looming ahead, it can be easy to feel a bit blue as the summer fun comes to end. Even though vacation time for most has ended, it doesn’t mean that we should stop scheduling them! It is important to take breaks, take time for yourself as well as spend time with your family. After all, it’s all about balance!

A unique idea for getting away from the hustle and bustle of your everyday routine is to take a staycation. A staycation involves staying in your local city or a city nearby at a hotel and enjoying the attractions within the local vicinity. It can be the perfect way to feel like you are on a vacation but still close to home! Keep on reading to find out more about why you need to take a staycation now.

Take a Break for Yourself

We all need to take some time for ourselves to relax in a serene environment. A staycation can help you get back to the basics and treat yourself from your busy schedule. Book a hotel, kick your feet up and spend the weekend to yourself! Whether it’s going to a spa, treating yourself to dinner, or simply catching up on some Netflix, a staycation can help you schedule in some relaxation time within a busy routine.

Spend More Time With Your Family

A staycation can be the solution to getting the family back together in a way that doesn’t take up too much stress or planning as you are likely to be familiar with the events and attractions that are happening in the city you are staying. Save your money by not travelling too far or for too long, but giving you and your family the much needed break they need! 

Discover Something New in Your City

While a staycation is easy to plan, it can also give you the opportunity to appreciate your local city in a way you never thought! Discover a unique restaurant, an outdoor concert or a new park! The possibilities are endless.

If you plan on heading to Sudbury for your next staycation, The Quality Inn Sudbury offers one of the best, most comfortable and affordable accommodations in Sudbury, making it an excellent choice for your next getaway. Call us today to book a room at 705.675.1273.
