We can sometimes go to absurd lengths and expense to see that smile of pure delight on their faces: hunting down the tastiest ice-cream cone at the local park, battling crowds at a famous theme park during the busy season, or spending hours standing in line for the trendiest toy during the holidays. What if we told you that the best gift of all might start with simply booking a solid chunk of time outside your front door?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Jennifer-Hallinan-DeLeon-\u2013-Moscow-\u2013-07_14_2018-DEBORAH.jpg\" alt=\"Family vacation photo shoot in Moscow Russia\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_1  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-moscow-meet-deborah\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Deborah in Moscow for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_1\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_1  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_1\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Eva-Chow-\u2013-Phuket-\u2013-12-23-2019-IDSARA.jpg\" alt=\"Family vacation photo shoot in Phuket Thailand\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_2\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Gwendolyn-Itpick-\u2013-Madrid-\u2013-01-07-2020-JULIA.jpeg\" alt=\"Family photo shoot on vacation in Madrid Spain\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_2\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_2  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-phuket-meet-idsara\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Left Photo: Idsara in Phuket for Flytographer<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-madrid-meet-julia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Right Photo: Julia in Madrid for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2><strong>1. Love Me Do<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing will tell your child how special they are to you more than spending uninterrupted time with them, away from household duties and constant work messages. Of course, it is possible to get in some QT at home, but it seems like there\u2019s always a load of laundry to take care of or a meal to prep. Getting out of the house means you can\u2019t fold towels (even if you wanted to). While there are things to attend to while travelling, like making sure you don\u2019t miss your flight or you\u2019re not boarding a metro going in the wrong direction, once you\u2019re settled into your hotel or set up under an umbrella on the beach, it can be all about your kids. Your undistracted attention is truly the greatest gift to give your child, and being in a brand-new environment without the usual day-to-day tasks and stressors is the perfect way to be present.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_3\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Nicole-Parmar-\u2013-Singapore-\u2013-01-06-2020-BRANDON.jpg\" alt=\"Family vacation in Singapore\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-singapore-meet-brandon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Brandon in Singapore for Flytographer&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_4\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Hieu-Le-\u2013-Maui-\u2013-03-10-2020-LAUREN.jpeg\" alt=\"Family vacation on Maui Hawaii USA\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-maui-meet-lauren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Lauren in Maui for Flytographer&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_5\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Pamela-Francis-\u2013-Santiago-\u2013-12-31-2019-ANDRES.jpg\" alt=\"Family vacation in Santiago Chile\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-santiago-meet-andrs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Andr\u00e9s in Santiago for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_7  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2><strong>Skills for Life<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mark Twain wrote, \u201cTravel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.\u201d Seeing new places offers perspective and understanding of the similarities and differences of humans around the world, from the political leanings of our neighbours to the cultural traditions of people on the other side of the globe. One of the best gifts we can give our kids is the ability to be open, empathetic and curious, to learn how to handle new situations and make smart decisions while in an unfamiliar environment.

As long as you don\u2019t suffocate your holiday with a rigid itinerary, you will have created hours of unstructured time to unwind, be silly and make fun decisions like whether to have pizza or pancakes for dinner. Playing a car game while driving to your next pitstop or racing your kids down the beach at your cottage getaway generates feelings of belonging and affection, which in turn brings everyone closer. Play also usually elicits buckets of laughter, releasing another positive brain chemical (unless your kids are super competitive, in which case, learning how to lose gracefully is another key life-skill!).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_10\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Anika-Williams-Lockhart-\u2013-New-York-City-\u2013-12-23-2019-AMANDA.jpg\" alt=\"Family vacation in New York City USA\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_13  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-new-york-city-meet-amanda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Amanda in New York City for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_11\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Norma-Mirandilla-Raguindin-\u2013-Rome-\u2013-07_15_2018-ROBERTA.jpg\" alt=\"Family vacation in Rome Italy\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_14  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-rome-meet-roberta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Roberta in Rome for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_12\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Katrina-Persad-\u2013-Honolulu-\u2013-01-23-2020-MELISSA.jpg\" alt=\"Family vacation in Honolulu Hawaii USA\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_15  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-honolulu-meet-melissa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Melissa in Honolulu for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_16  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best thing about the gift of travel?
