Strengthening Familial Ties: Have An Annual Family Vacation
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

Let’s face it. One of our greatest fears as parents is the often expected possibility that our kids would forget about us once they embrace independence. They have to move out and establish their own lot in life, eventually. Will they keep in touch? Will they always remember? Will they carry in their hearts the enjoyable memories you once shared? The answer is as clear as the question, if we ponder on in it more deeply. The way they would remember is by giving them a lot of fun memories to nurture. And what better way to make this a reality than by having an annual family vacation as a tradition.

A family vacation is always a great experience to look forward to. It’s an opportunity for the family members to experience new things, to try new activities, to see new sights, to get to know unfamiliar culture, and to enjoy new adventures. Most importantly, a family vacation would allow you to savor all these things together. That is what a family is all about, after all… being together, sharing a bond that neither time nor tide would be able to erode.

And the fact that such a family vacation would be celebrated every year can most possibly define what your family is all about… that is, a family which upholds tradition and puts a premium on the ties that bind.

Since you, your spouse and the kids, as well as members of the extended family on occasions, would have a family vacation to plan for each and every year, there will be a lot of opportunities to visit wonderful and unforgettable places. Not only will these experiences spice up your lives, but they would also foster the strengthening of the bond that each family member shares.

Most counselors, as a matter of fact, promote an annual family vacation to keep the said family together. Each member may have his or her own life to live. He or she may have his or her own obligations to fulfill. But for at least once a year, they would all come together to celebrate what a family really means… mutual love and support.

Indeed, an annual family vacation can easily become a tradition that can be cherished by each and every member of the household. Who knows? Perhaps this tradition can even last forever, and there will come a time when you’d be enjoying a family vacation with your grandkids as well.

Now, isn’t that an investment worth making?
