Simple is definitely best when it comes to holidaying with small children. You won't find us taking our under 5s on a fancy sight-seeing tour (even if we could afford it!) Our key holiday ingredients (at this stage of family life) are:
1) Somewhere to play
4) Somewhere to get dirty
5) Somewhere pretty
6) Somewhere with friends (photo taken by Miss 4)
7) Somewhere to walk (also taken by Miss 4)
8) Somewhere for mummy and daddy to get a nice cup of coffee or tea before/during/ after all the playing, digging, splashing, getting dirty, prettiness, friends and walking.
9) Somewhere not too far from home. This holiday spot is about 2.5 - 3 hours drive from us. Okay if we time the drive to coincide with sleeps/ rests. A bit too far otherwise!
What are your key ingredients for a great holiday?
