How often do you regret not packing some fun games for your kids while taking a family vacation? Traveling with kids could get very frustrating. So, games can save you from all the monkey busines. Get magnetic stuff, clings, card games, travel bingo or whatever you want so that you can reward them with a cool new activity for good behavior, after every milestone achieved, or when you're doing nothing at the hotel room.
Personally, I'd recommend taking a Baby Tangle, if you're going with a 0-2 year old kid. Puzzles, Mazes, Sketch Books, Magnetic Game Sets with Solitaire Games, Dry Erase Acticities, License Plate Games, Checkers, Roadside Search Games, Wacky Tracks etc are great hits among 3-6 year olds.
Chinese Chekers, Magnetic Tangram, Magnetic Mosaic, Cards, Mazes, Hit the Road Nickelodeon Travel Deck , Rubber Neckers Travel Card Game, Creativity Kit Lap Desk , Quizzies etc are favorites among 7- 10 year olds.
If your kids are 11 years of age or above, then a chess board, electronic and magnetic games, activity cards, Auto and Traffic Safety Cards etc will keep them entertained.

A Loving Family!!
Yesterday we went out for some chocolate and ice-cream fun. It's not always that I get the chance for a day out with my kids. Honey is always psyched about these outings. After all, it's not where we go or what we do. We did it together as a family!
Although, I was having a bad cold and feeling too lazy to venture out, the excitement around made me shoot out of the living room! Whooshhhhhhhhh! The car was badly in need of a wash, d'oh! But who cares.
It's very important to create a loving family, and only a loving parent can do this with success. This is the reason for such trifling getaways. Spread positive energies, and nullify the negative. It's necessary to check out the words that we utter at home. Conversations shouldnot always stem from criticism, call to action, duty or responsibility. It should never be demanding and insisting.
So, what I try to do is keep saying to the kids:
I believe in you.
I love you.
You are/you'll be great.
I like the way you do that.
Kid, you're good example for your sister/brother.
We trust you.
You're fun to be around.
We are proud of you.
You're improving everyday.
We can see you're trying hard in school.
You'll be rewarded.
Just let my childern know that they are my TOP priority. Love and forgiveness is the key to a happy family life. Until the next vacation, we must make them believe that we really care. Vacations don't mean a thing if we do not practice thumb rules of a healthy family life.
