Fall Vacation Ideas for 2020
Go for a Fishing Holiday
Before you stop Dad from packing his fishing reels because you think fishing isn’t necessarily for the whole family, pause to consider the possibilities.
You’ll be relaxing in a waterside location, enjoying the tranquility of the countryside, and hey if Dad catches that big one with that fishing tackle he’s so keen on (for reasons you may not fully understand), there’ll be fresh fish sizzling on the barbeque.
Meanwhile, the kids can let off steam in the open air – something they’ve been eager to do for a long time – while Mom relaxes in the shade with a good book unless she’s keen to try her hand at fishing too, or is already a sharp angler.
Haven’t tried fishing before? That’s all the more reason to get out there and discover why so many people are passionate about their fishing hobby. But be warned: you’re likely to get hooked!
Once you’ve enjoyed the thrill of catching your first fish, you’ll be eager for more – and you’ll begin telling stories about the one that got away: “It was this big,” you say, adding a creative dose of exaggeration into the mix.
Go Hiking in Scenic Sites
Open-air holidays are probably safer from a health perspective than a mundane visit to the supermarket, and way more fun too. National Park services around the world are striving to keep these open-air treasures open to visitors, although certain additional services may be limited.
Check out your local options and get to know the scenic sites near home. Active families will enjoy day hikes or longer treks through the scenic countryside where they can get back in touch with nature while escaping the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life.
If you aren’t familiar with the trails themselves, do check how challenging they are. If you’re undertaking them with your whole family in tow, the more challenging trails might not be for you.
However, a lot of trails are basically pleasant day strolls that leave you lots of time to rest up, picnic in the shade, and still reach your target destination before night falls.
