Best Family Vacations Are Family Friendly Vacations, Such As Disney Vacations

Identifying Our Best Family Vacations

Our best family vacations involved more than great destinations to fun places to go. The vacation travels I consider best were often given to us as pastor appreciation gifts and helped us bond as a family.

Now it takes more than a father's opinion to qualify as our best travel excursions. For us, to be classified as best meant that they were family friendly vacations. We learned that Vacations for kids needed to be fun to get their vote as to being best. Of course, for mom and dad, the best trips were those where our family bonded together, such as the many Disney vacations we have taken.

The Wonderful Gift of Travel

Reflecting back on what we consider family fun vacations, some of our best family trips were given as expressions of pastor appreciation. These gifts of travel often made it possible to take trips otherwise unaffordable on a pastor's salary.

Taking Affordable Family Vacations

Let me say that I pastored mostly small congregations. These memorable family vacation trips were not totally paid for by our congregations. What made these trips affordable family vacations for us was that portions of the travel costs were given as gifts, making the trip possible.

Even though the churches I served were small in attendance and finances, they were big in generosity, making our vacations affordable by doing something.

We were indeed blessed by those we served and best of all is that our adult children have fond memories of those congregations.

As they reflect back on being pastor's kids, memories of our many Disney vacations and even a Grand Canyon Vacation are the focus of present day conversations.
