ROAD TRIP!

ROAD TRIPS

A little fresh air never hurt anybody. Taking a road trip with your family can be an excellent way to relieve some stress and frustration from being indoors, while spending quality time with your loved ones.
Note: If you're going on a road trip to relieve stress you should probably take another adult with you, so you won't have to deal with the kids on your own.

Let your destination be a beach far away from you - most children love the beach so it will give them something to look forward to. Trinidad isn't that big so you shouldn't have to drive more than about two hours to get somewhere (unless there's traffic - ugh!) Stop along the way and take pictures, whether at historical sites or just random places. These can make for wonderful memories in the future.

Make sure you pack enough snacks and food as the children are sure to be hungry along the way. Maybe even play some games in the car, but try to avoid letting them use their phones or tablets as you want this to be a family activity, where you have fun TOGETHER!

KNOW YOUR COUNTRY TOURS

Another twist on a road trip is the Know Your Country Tour offered by the PTSC of Trinidad and Tobago. They go to different parts of the country, make stops along the way, and provide professional tour guides who give historical information about the places that you pass through. It's not free, but it's definitely enjoyable - and educational. Call up some friends and plan a day out, where you get to know your country while still having fun!
