Create Family Memories with a Road Trip

image It can be a challenge to travel with young children, but it is still nice (and sometimes needed!) to get away and explore new adventures.  Sometimes it is the shorter (last minute) vacations that can be the most memorable.

A big thank you to Country Inns & Suites for giving me a chance to make special memories in Southern CA with my boys! We are so excited to get out of the 110+ temperatures, and enjoy the cool breeze of the ocean, the refreshing water at the beach, and the many sights of beautiful Southern California.

Since I haven’t stayed at a Country Inns & Suites before, I’m excited to check it out, too, especially since they have a pool, Read & Return Lending Library (how cool is that?), and a FREE Breakfast! If you are thinking of taking a mini vacation road trip, check out the various locations and itineraries that Country Inns & Suites already has planned for families! I plan on telling you all about my trip and the fun and frugal activities I find!

So, what is your idea of the best last minute vacation? Where would you go?

    Hi Melissa.. I was just on Twitter looking for ‘family travel’ and found you talking about family memories! I wish you’d email me your day-to-day So. Cal. itinerary because I’d like to create a complimentary MEMORIES Travel Journal for you and the boys, so you all can write about and permanently remember your special last-minute vacation together. What fun you’ll all have looking back on this family adventure over the years.

    September is our company’s 20th anniversary and as a “Thank you!” to travelers we are offering free MEMORIES all during the month. I’ll just move my calendar ahead a month and give you one of those free ones!

    Travel safely!
    Rick

    How good for you! Are you going to the Country Suites in Cardiff (San Diego County)? … My neck of the woods — weather has been fantastic — mid to high 70s on the coast.

    Country Inn Suites is my favorite! The breakfeast is amazing and so much to choose from! That is are only place we will stay now! Enjoy! I am stuck in this 110 degree weather!

    Sounds like you will have a great time. I myself have been wanting to get out of the 110 degree weather. I miss the beach! Have fun :)

    Yes, we were in San Diego! Oh, and the weather was perfect! It was hard to leave!

    Nicolle, are you in AZ, too? Did you get rain? I heard that it rained while we were gone…

    [...] The Country Inns & Suites in San Diego was a wonderful place to stay away from home. From the minute we arrived, we received exceptional customer service. The front desk was pleasant and quick, which I really appreciated after driving 6 hours with two young boys. [...]
