Lights, Camera, Adventure: Exploring Movies About Travel and Family for Kids
It’s summer time and while you are busy planning for the break from routine, somewhere it is essential to pause and think together as a family- that you get just about 16-18 summer holidays with your children, before they develop the wings of their own and fly out of your nest!
Yes, family travel comes with its craziness! From dads insisting on reaching the airport 3 hours in advance to moms practically carrying the entire kitchen and packing for all possibilities, every family has truckloads of stories on their craziness and fun. And of course if you are a younger parent, travelling with your infants and toddlers isn’t the most easiest thing to do. But whatever happens- make that plan. Take that flight. Go ahead with the road trip.
Life is too short to think later that you should have gone on more holidays with the kids! We suggest the best movies you can watch with your kids that reiterate the joys and madness of travelling together with your family.
