Making Family Travel a Priority—No Matter Their Age

“You should wait.” “They won’t remember it.” “It’s a waste of money.”
Sound familiar? You will hear these and other cliché sayings about why you shouldn’t travel while your kids are young. But I’m here to tell you – don’t listen to them when planning a family vacation.

Travel now. Take them when they are young. If you wait for the perfect time to go on vacation, you may miss years of precious memories. The “right time” seems to be elusive. Either they are “too old” or “too young.” So, start planning a family vacation whenever you can.

But what if I told you the perfect age is whenever you can go? Embrace the moments. If they are young and won’t remember it, you will. If they are older, even if they grunt a few times about spending family time, they will love and appreciate it deep down.

We didn’t start traveling until our youngest was six and our oldest was thirteen. I wish we had the opportunity to go earlier, but it wasn’t in the cards or wasn’t something we prioritized at the time. What was meant to be a “once-in-a-lifetime” vacation to celebrate our anniversary turned into almost an annual event of planning a family vacation.

I wish we would have started sooner. Our oldest is 23 now, in grad school, and starting her own life. Not only are we navigating our schedules and her brother’s schedule, but also her busy schedule and her significant other’s schedule. It’s a lot to coordinate, but it’s worth it! We made it a priority and have already picked our travel dates for 2026.

We have been traveling as a family for 10 years, but I wish we had started even earlier. The memories we’ve created are priceless, and I can only imagine the additional experiences we could have shared if we had begun sooner.

So, if you are on the fence – go now. If you haven’t started, it’s not too late. If you have little ones, it’s not too early. Start planning a family vacation today.

I have spoken to many families who “waited” for the perfect time and now worry that they waited too long because they have a wide range of ages. But I am here to tell you – it’s never too late. I am also here to reassure you that if you use a travel professional, we will help you find the perfect resort, park schedule, or cruise for your unique family dynamic. Whether you are a family of four with children close in age, a family with a big age gap, or a family of six with a variety of interests, let us help you find your next unforgettable family vacation.
