We planned a family vacation in a family favorite destination. Our family includes many young adults. The vacation plans included many hits and a few misses.
Hits
- a scenic hike with both easy and difficult trails
- biking countless carriage trails with ebike and usual bikes
- a sunset nature cruise
- comfortable cottage with great walkability to restaurants, shops, beaches, and the national park
- great weather - that's lucky!
- good retaurants
- Happy Hours at the cottage with drinks, cheese and crackers, other appetizers
- Bananagrams
- chance to watch a basketball tournament game together
- bringing lots of breakfast, lunch, snack foods and drinks
- choosing a time of year where the location was not too crowded
Misses
- The cottage was great, but a little more space would have been nice including more bathrooms
- Renting a cottage with a waterfront view and access would have been great
- More healthy foods for appetizers
- A bit more attention to packing outdoor adventure gear and supplies
In general having a loose-tight schedule of planned events that everyone could take part in set the stage for a fun vacation. Hopefully we'll do it again in the not-too-distant future. Onward.
