Making memories may be some of the most exciting parts of any vacation. Whether you are planning a family weekend getaway to Wisconsin Dells or a romantic trip with a loved one, here are 5 easy tips to help you make the most of your trip!
Get Unplugged
Don’t worry, the world doesn’t stop when you set down your smartphone, or come to a screeching halt when you close your laptop. Turn off the work emails, log out of Twitter, take time to unplug the electronic devices and focus on connecting with your surroundings!
Take Pictures
Taking tons of pictures on your trip is a quick, cheap and easy way to help develop long-lasting memories. Not all “Kodak Moments” are posed, so just focus on capturing the moment! Take some of your journey, to-and-from lodging, meals and everything in between! One of the biggest perks with new-age, digital photography is the ability to pick and choose which ones you want to print. Snap away!
Let Your Senses Do the Talking
Did you know that your sense of smell is linked closely with emotional recollection (Grandma’s oven-fresh cookies… need we say more)? Senses are a great tool for developing and retaining new memories, so don’t take any of them for granted on your next vacation. You may find bold flavors and a new favorite meal by sampling the local foods!
Just Relax
Time flies… so slow down, relax, and don’t sweat the small stuff. Occasionally things happen that will be out of your control (canceled flights, flat tires, etc.), and it’s easy to get caught up in the stress of the unknown. Some of the best (and most recounted) vacation memories come from the unforeseen adventures. Focus on the time you are able to spend with the ones you love!
Scrapbook It
Save photos, ads, postcards and documents from your trip and try your hand at creating a scrapbook when you return home. Scrapbooking is a great way to preserve images and objects that help recount stories! You’ll be so grateful for the books and their content years down the road! If you’re tech-savvy, the internet is a great resource for creating photo books. Upload your photos and personalize your book with professional layouts, funky backgrounds and cool stickers!
Keep these 5 easy tips in mind while on vacation and you’ll be well on your way to a whole batch of new memories! To start making new memories, visit Dells.com to plan a trip to Wisconsin Dells with ease!
