If you still haven’t finalized your vacation plans for the family yet,
don’t worry about it! Here are some suggestions on #TeamBeautiful’s
favorite activities for those long-anticipated, yearly getaways both you
and the kids will love.
1) A Beach Day

Beach days are easy peasy, they take minimal amount of effort and
they’re generally really inexpensive—if you even have to pay an entrance
fee at all. Plus, you can finally strut around and turn heads in that
cute swimsuit that you were preparing for all winter long. What’s not to
love?
2) A Picnic

This is also fairly inexpensive and takes hardly any effort. Even
more, it’s a good alternative to going to a restaurant where you might
overindulge; with a picnic, you get to decide what’s on the menu for
yourself and still bask in the sun!
3) A Daredevil Stunt

Have you always wanted to try daring activities like deep-sea diving
with sharks, mountain climbing or parachuting from a helicopter
thousands of feet in the air? Go for it! This is your summer and life is
short. Even doing something as light and simple as canoeing can bring
the family together. But remember, the more daring the stunt, the more
memorable and fun it will be to look back on.
4) A Karaoke Night

If you’ve ever been on a cruise, you know that karaoke nights are
always the most gratifying and entertaining thing to do while on
board—except of course taking advantage of the unlimited buffet! Let
your guard down and belt out those songs you love singing to yourself in
the shower. No one will judge and I promise that there’ll always be
someone who sings considerably worse than you do.
5) A Nature Walk

For all the outdoorsy people like me, this one’s a no-brainer. The
whole family can get some quiet time and exercise. Plus, it’s an easy
way to teach your little ones about the environment.
6) An Adventure Off The Beaten Path

Speaking of nature walks, if you’re staying somewhere that’s good for
walks in the neighborhood and if you know the area really well or have
friends and family there to show you around, take the roads less
travelled. Make a point to go to areas that locals love and deem safe
that aren’t as popular among tourists. You’ll have a much more authentic
experience and you’ll come back from your trip feeling like you got a
great bang for your buck.
7) A Shopping Spree

Finally, if you’ve got the cash to spare or did a fabulous job of
keeping a budget, celebrate and do lots of shopping! Everyone loves
souvenirs and it’s good to spice up your wardrobe with items that you
wouldn’t normally pick up from the department store near your home.
Collecting clothes from abroad allows you to carry your memories with
you and make a fashion statement at the same time.
