Even with the spread of COVID, there are things you can do to make yourself feel safe even as you travel during this time. First of all, be aware of advisories from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) as this will provide traveling recommendations. It’s even more important that you get feedback from your child about how they feel, particularly if a trip includes extended family. Whether you’re heading to a resort or a national park, this is key in making it a fun, family-friendly trip! It’s important too that everyone is comfortable with similar safety measures so family vacation activities can be enjoyed together. Share your own ideas on FamilyApp!
