Family Vacations Jessica Pierce
						Besides visiting old town or spending a day at home, going on a vacation is a great way to reconnect with your family and meet new people, especially those not from your neighborhood.  Vacations are also a great way to get great souvenirs and try new activities such as sky diving and snorkeling. Make sure you chose a resort with tons of activities that groups can participate in.  Avoid treasure hunts, reading books and archery instead have the family join group games of volleyball, water balloon or snowball fights and campfires.  Make sure to eat together and have similar schedules to maximize together time. However, allow some time away from each other for meeting new people-it’s an excellent time to expand your circle of friends and enjoying new activities. If your family wants to gain the coveted Vacation Award, try participating in multiple activities, interacting with guests and making sure that you’re in a good mood. Soon you will be the proud recipients of a beautiful Vacation Award, depending on the location-you can get the golden pinecone, winter snow globe or sunray award. Remember, a happy family means a happy life.
