Multi-generational vacations are tricky because you will want to spend quality time together as a family, but everyone will have different interests and want to spend their time differently. This can make it hard to find a suitable destination if you are traveling with people of all ages, such as young kids, teenagers, and grandparents. It is essential that you do not force everyone to spend time together, but you can ensure that there will be quality family time and something for everyone, as long as you are smart about your destination. Here are a few ideas to consider for a multi-generational vacation.
