More Family Travel Tips

I love to travel, and this summer I’m finding myself extremely lucky in the travel department! In early June my son and I tagged along when my husband went to Washington, D.C., for a conference. This week said son and I are visiting my mom in southern California. And next month we’re heading off on a road trip around southern Oregon and northern California. Throw in a weekend camping trip or two and this summer is shaping up quite nicely indeed! I’ve learned a lot about traveling with kids (OK, a kid) over the years, much of it through researching and reading articles about family travel right here in Metro Parent . Our June feature Hit the Road offers tips for Happy Family Car Trips, and a recent blog inspired dozens of reader comments offering more travel tips for parents. A few years ago, we ran an Ages & Stages article about traveling with kids and another sharing stories from local parents about their Best Family Vacations Ever! (It’s a good job for a travel bug!) You can check out more of our travel articles on our Family Travel page . I hope some of them (along with our reader comments) will not only help you get more out of family travel but also encourage you to get out there as often as you can and explore the world with your kids. Where are you going this summer? Wherever it is, whether near or far, we wish you happy trails!
