So, you have finally settled on a date that works for the entire family for that big trip you've been trying to plan for years. You've decided on one of the many perfect family vacation resorts in Georgia, and your bags are all packed. Now, as you head to the airport to begin your family vacation adventure, keep in mind a few things that you'll want to make sure to remember on your trip.

Capture It, Remember It

You might not be an avid picture-taker, but it's highly recommended that you get some great shots on this family vacation. The scenery in Georgia is sure to be gorgeous, and your family isn't a bad view either. Take this opportunity to get a variety of photos you always wish you had for a photo album. Mom and kids, dad and kids, just the kids, mom and dad, you name it. There's a combination that you haven't taken in a while and looking back on your trip, it'll be worth the little drip of an ice cream cone to snap a quick picture in front of the ice cream shop you found.

Splurge a Little Bit

Vacation is not the place to say, "we can't buy anything." Make sure you plan ahead (as best you can) so you can try to splurge a bit. It would be great to be able to buy your daughter that snow globe souvenir for her collection or your wife those earrings she loves from the local gift shop. Souvenirs are a wonderful way to bring a piece of Georgia home with you.

Go on Adventures

Do you have a schedule that you like to stick to on vacation? It's encouraged that you reserve some time for adventure. You can do all the research you want before you touch down in the state of peaches, but it's almost a guarantee that you'll find something fun as you walk around your resort that you will want to do as a family that wasn't planned. Embrace every second.

Be a Tourist

Often, people on vacation go out of their way to try not to do "touristy" things. Well, it's okay to explore like a tourist. Visiting places that make Georgia unique is part of the fun so don't be afraid to be a tourist.

Lastly, soak in every minute. Enjoy your time at one of the many family vacation resorts in Georgia. It's a beautiful place with the most beautiful people you know.
