It’s summer! Time to go on the annual family vacation, so you have memories to laugh about for years to come.
If you’re tired of the traditional resort visit or crowded tourist trap, don’t feel stuck. There are so many options! Let’s look at three summer vacation ideas that are sure to entertain your family.
Agritourism
Amusement park again? Nah. Head to a working farm! Many rural properties now offer family stays where kids can help gather eggs, pick fruit, and feed animals. It’s a screen-free way for kids to enjoy nature and gain an understanding of where food comes from – before the grocery store.
Farm life is wonderful, but it’s also dirty. After a week of outdoor adventures, the last thing you want is for that all to follow you into your house. Give us a call! Merry Maids can clean your house while you’re gone or after you return.
Houseboat adventure
Rent a houseboat on a waterway like Lake Powell or the Erie Canal. Living on the water gives you a constantly changing view and can bring the family together as you help navigate and dock.
This is a slow-travel experience, which means no traffic jams. However, space on a boat is tight. Space on a boat is tight. When you finally return to land, you deserve some room to breathe in your own home. Spread out and enjoy your home without seeing a chore in sight.
Mystery city
Ready for adventure? Try a house exchange swap or a blind destination trip where you pick a city based on a specific interest - like best minor league baseball park, oldest arcade, or even a special ice cream flavor. Exploring a smaller city can bring all the benefits of a vacation with none of the crowds. Or, just get in the car and drive…see where you end up!
Of course, exploration is exhausting. Coming home to a house that has been professionally cleaned by Merry Maids means your vacation doesn’t end at the front door. Keep the restful feeling going while we take care of the rest.
