Do you specifically want to know about the activities and food at Club Med Sandpiper Bay in Florida? I don’t blame you. When you’re planning a family vacation to an all-inclusive resort, the activities and food are definitely two of the most important things! So, look no further! For the past two years in a…
Hmmm… the BEST family vacations… if I had to narrow it down to 5, what would I pick? I’ve been thinking long and hard. We’ve been on a lot of fun trips! I had to think about which vacations were the most kid friendly, low stress for mom & dad, and which ones we are still talking about as a family. I think I have my answers! You ready? Just click on the link to any of the individual vacations to read all about our trip (how we booked, things we loved, tips/tricks, etc.)

So, it took about 3 hours to drive from St. Louis to Nauvoo. We found a home to rent for the week on VRBO.com, right on the Mississippi River. The house was… so-so (ant infestation and the worst mattress ever) BUT, the location made it all worth it. It was just about a mile from historic Nauvoo, on a fairly secluded drive. One of my favorite things was going for a run along the river. There was nobody around, except a dozen vultures, it was so quiet and beautiful. I loved it!
For the longest time, my husband and I have been wanting to take our 7 kiddos on a family vacation to Nauvoo, Illinois. It’s been over 10 years since we have been there and I thought it was the perfect time to go again. I had just finished reading The History of Joseph Smith by His Mother to the kids, it was spring (less crowds and not so hot!), and we were due for a family vacation. And, let me tell you… it WAS the perfect time to go and the most PERFECT family vacation. Honestly, maybe my favorite one that we’ve ever done. The April weather was amazing. We practically had the whole town to ourselves. It was an awesome bonding experience, we learned a ton, and had some definite spiritual moments. I’m already anxious to go again!
Summer means travel! Even if you’re not going on a big vacation, you’re probably road-tripping for a family reunion or taking off for an afternoon at the mountains or the beach. Getting out of the routine can be invigorating, but sometimes these trips can disconnect us from the small habits that keep us close to the Spirit! Traveling can mean we miss church services, daily scripture study, or regular prayers. With this in mind, I created printables of eight travel related scriptures verses to help keep you and your family a little more connected to Him during the summer travel season.
