New York, NY (PRWEB) June 28, 2017
Whether it’s camping in the woods, a stay on the beach, or a long road trip, summer vacations are part of the fabric of American families. It’s a chance for families to share new experiences, strengthen bonds and create lasting memories. However, between cost, time constraints, and so much planning, there seems to always be a reason NOT to take a vacation. Recently, Kim Orlando, Founder of TravelingMom.com, teamed with Residence Inn by Mariott and YourUpdateTV to provide some tips on how to skip the hassle, and not the vacation.

Make your stay part of your vacation - Look for a hotel that has something for every member of the family like swimming pools and children areas, fitness experiences, WiFi, and free happy hours.
Cook your own meals - Feeding a family on the road can quickly add up, and traveling with allergies can be a challenge. Take advantage of a hotel with a full kitchen in every room. Residence Inn has a full kitchen and offers free grocery delivery service so mom or dad are not stuck with that chore. AND you don’t have to worry about the dishes!
Stay active - Residence Inn by Marriott collaborated with Under Armour Connected Fitness to launch RI-Runs for guests. These are mapped runs to enjoy while on vacation, letting guests exercise just like the locals!
Take advantage of activities for kids of all ages – Finding activities for the whole family is crucial. Hiking, cooking, fishing, surfing and crafting are all fun options for the family.
Enjoy the journey - As Buddha said, “happiness is a journey, not a destination.” Use services like Yelp and Google Maps to find interesting attractions, restaurants and rest-stops as you go and enjoy the family journey!
Find Pet Friendly accommodations - You don't have to leave pets at home while traveling with family over the summer. Pets are welcome at all Residence Inn locations, create travel memories with your pup too!
