Vacationing with small children (#1)

Recently I had the pleasure of showing my brother and his family the Las Vegas Strip and I was reminded that certain accomodations must be made for younger childern.  This is the first post in several with tips about vacationing with younger children (10 & under).


There are some great places that you can with small children.  But there are a few things that you need to remember:
1. Make sure to allow for plenty of "potty" breaks.  Their bladders are smaller than ours, ergo more frequent stops are required.
2. Bring your own snacks and drinks when ever possible.  You know what your kids like.  This will minimize the need to buy food, which can get expensive!
3. Younger kids (10 & under) get tired faster.  You may need to alter you plans and prioritize what it is you want to see and do as a family.  It may also benefit you to rent or even buy a cheap umbrella stroller.  A five or even six year old can get recharged by being able to rest for a bit in a stroller.
