Cruise with the family
Planning the perfect family vacation isn't always easy, especially when you're trying to budget to different ages and preferences. Luckily,a cruise is known to deliver great fun across multiple generations to its guests.

board a cruise in Bayonne you can get some incredible last minute offers on thrilling weekend getaways to the tropics,all on board some of the boldest ships in the world.
Picnic at the beach
Pack your favorite foods and snacks and head for some beach fun on a picnic under the sun.Kids,these days,spend more time on electronic devices than in previous years,so it is imperative to get them outside whenever possible.
While on the shore,you can tell stories,read a book, play board games or engage in other outdoor activities,build sand castles or even help in cleaning the area.The best part is,that apart from gas,food and sunscreen,there is nothing else to pay for.
Sea shell hunting
Hunting for seashells is a truly enjoyable family activity,where you can spend the entire day collecting sea shells,just as on a treasure hunt.You can shore up the excitement by spotting a perfectly shaped sea shell and turn the activity into a competition.
Sea shells come in all shapes and sizes,some with holes readymade for a necklace or a bracelet.You can even collect shells for a specific project,like a picture frame,to adorn the walls of your home without spending a penny.
Fly a kite
The tropical breeze is a blessing on a warm summer beach,but it is also great for flying a kite,an activity which everyone from young at heart to adults can enjoy for almost nothing on the beach.So just pay for a colorful kite and let the imagination of the kids run wild as they see it soar in the sky.
In recent times,kites come with streamers and tails and are sure to catch the attention of everyone around the beach,so just fly a kite and you are sure to be the center of attraction.
Document the day on camera
Just pick up a waterproof disposable camera and take random shots of the activities of the day. Give each family member a turn to take photos to see what a day at the beach looks like from different perspectives.
Remember to tell the film developer to scan the film for you in order to share your beach photos with everyone online.
