VACATION TIME!








School's out and everyone in our house is thinking vacation time....

Time to dream about where to go on summer vacation, what to do so the kids can have tons of fun. The Carribean is a great place since it's really close by and accessible to the States and it has really nice resorts - some all inclusive.



Beaches/The Caribbean's hottest family adventureThere isn't a kid in the world who doesn't adore Sesame Street. How about a vacation with Elmo and friends? All week long, kids can enjoy a Beaches exclusive Family Adventure Promotion, featuring life-size walk-around characters of Cookie Monster, Grover, Zoe, Bert, Ernie, and of course Elmo all week.
Beaches Resorts (you must have heard of them before), have family-friendly resorts in Boscobel, Negril, Sandy Bay and Turks & Caicos.


They have a bunch of integrated activities all day at the beach resort like:
  • Character Breakfasts
    Specially themed breakfast with Elmo and friends. The type where the characters walk around and interact with each child.

  • Sundays at the Movies
    Sesame Street characters go around and visit with everyone before children's movies with a sundae-making kiosk and snacks, popcorn and drinks, etc.

  • Character Parades
    Sesame Street and other dressed up characters get all the kids in the resort to participate in a parade with music, clowns and costumes.

  • Stage Shows - live entertainment on stage

  • Story Time With Elmo - Elmo interacts with the kids and tells stories

  • Bake with Cookie Monster - Kids get into the kitchen and make fresh cookies with the staff. Cookie monster teaches the kids how to eat like a monster.

  • Dance with Zoe - One of the really fun activities - ring games, line dancing, ribbon dancing are all stuff kids giggle when they do it. Zoe comes and sees everyone dance.

  • Make Music with Bert and Ernie - Both dancing and music time.

You want a vacation where you don't need a vacation when you get back. Beaches Resorts is a great option since they have tons of kids programs to tire the kids out all day, they have all inclusive pacakges where you don't have to worry about anything, they have night activities for the parents, the resort itself has a lot of stuff to do where you don't need to leave to do other things if you don't want.
And with these "themed" options, it gives the kids something they are familiar with already to get them playing as soon as you hit the beach.
