Family Trips in the USA — 11 Vacation Rentals to Enjoy Fall Foliage with Your Kids
Nowadays, due to technology, kids spend far more time indoors. The average American child spends 4 to 7 minutes outside and more than 7 hours per day in front of a device. That is why we must look for opportunities in which our children can spend more time outside and in contact with nature.
A cozy fall getaway in a place where they can see the great fall colors is the perfect way to take your children to the great outdoors, and they can play, see, smell, and feel nature. All the senses get stimulated when kids are out in nature. The kid’s brain can rejuvenate in nature, so your little ones will do well the next time they concentrate and pay attention.
A vacation like this can be as simple as driving to a nearby town since the US has some of the most beautiful autumn leaf views in the world. When we travel as a family and even more so when we include our little ones in the adventure, where we will stay and its amenities is essential because we must make sure that they are family-friendly places. And maybe even a pet-friendly accommodation because many of us have furry members in our families
