Schedule Time For Adult Fun
Yes, family vacations are about spending time with your kids, but sometimes mom and dad need a break. Schedule at least one day (or a few hours) where you, your partner, and other adult family members can have some grown-up fun. If you have a teenager or older relative with you, they can watch the younger children until you return. There’s also the option to search for trusted babysitters in the La Jolla area to lend you a helping hand.
You can go on a boat, food, city, or bike tour. Then, spend a few hours shopping at the many stores in downtown La Jolla. Next, broaden your horizons and explore the murals throughout the city or tour the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Finally, head back to the hotel, change into something more upscale, spray on your Burberry Brit for women, and grab a bite to eat at a local restaurant or bar.
Most families don’t get the opportunity to travel often. So, when you have a chance to get away, you want it to be a memorable experience. Though there are plenty of places to travel with your loved ones this summer, why not give La Jolla, CA, a try? It’s a beautiful beach town with so many exciting things to see and do.
