Do you have a family vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks planned soon? Vacations are a lot of fun, especially when you are planning a trip to the Lake! If you are planning a vacation with children, one of the worries many parents have is the traveling aspect of vacation. If you a have a day or more of traveling to do, traveling with children can be overwhelming. The best way to make traveling with the family easier is to travel prepared. Today, our family friendly hotel at the Lake of the Ozarks has a few tips for traveling when you have children, check it out! 


#1 Allow Plenty of Time for Travel

When you have kids it’s enviable that traveling will take longer than when you use to travel alone or just with your significant other. Allow plenty of flexibility in your travels to avoid being stressed and overwhelmed during your drive.

#2 Book Everything You Can Before Your Trip

It’s important to have a plan for your family vacation. Not having a plan on what you’ll do during your trip before you can end up in a disaster. Make sure you have your Lake of the Ozarks hotel booked, book any exertions you may want to do, and if you can’t book some things in advance, you should at least have a list of possible activities planned out for each day of your vacation. Having a plan for your trip will help you stay organized, make the most of your trip, and avoid becoming overwhelmed.

#3 Bring Snacks

If you’ve been a parent for any amount of time, you probably already know that one of the most important traveling tips is to bring snacks. When kids get hungry, they get cranky. When you are trying to get to your destination as quickly as possible, the last thing you want to do is stop for a snack – not to mention you’ll have to pay a premium price at a convenience store. Be sure to pack plenty of snacks for your trip to and from your vacation spot and also have plenty of easy snacks for throughout your vacation as well.

#4 Pack a First Aid Kit

When traveling, you should always keep a first aid kit handy. You never know when your children will fall and scrape their knee or get a minor bee sting. Also, be sure to add a few types of medicine into your first aid kit just in case. You never know if yours or your child's allergies are going to act up or their stomach is going to get upset, or even get a minor headache. The best way to avoid a bad day while traveling due to a minor illness is to come prepared. 


#5 Bring Plenty of Entertainment

Children of all ages tend to get bored pretty fast when they are on a long trip. The best way to help avoid having an irritable kid while traveling is to bring plenty of entertainment to keep them occupied. Of course, entertainment for all families can mean different things so, bring the types of entertainment your kids are accustomed. Whether that be a movie in the car, games on a tablet, coloring books, or even getting creative with a few old fashion car games like eye spy!

We hope that you find this list helpful for the next time you are taking a family vacation.
