In our case, we opted to enjoy the seafood buffet by ourselves because our kids don’t really enjoy seafood. Plus, we will just be spending our time serving them. So instead, hubby and I had a lunch date — our own couple’s bonding – while the kids stayed in the room. Don’t worry, they had their own food.
What You Can Do During Your Staycation
Here are some of the suggestions about what you can do while having a staycation at the Seda Capitol Central premier room.
- Swim and play – we bring our own water toys like water guns and inflatables that the kids can play with. They also get to share these with the other kids who are at the pool area at the time we are there.
- Watch TV – since the kids don’t get to watch a lot of TV at home, they usually take advantage of the cable connection in hotels
- Take a nap
- Hang out by at the roofdeck to witness the sunset together
- Have a DIY couple’s facial (or you may include the kids)
- Play video games together
- Have meals together
- Partake of the breakfast buffet
- Swim some more
Breakfast Buffet
At home, we don’t usually have breakfast together because we wake up at different times. That’s our family dynamics. But when we stay in a hotel, we would wake up early and partake of the breakfast buffet together so that the kids will have energy for swimming.
Also, this is a good time for them to learn how to pick the food that they like and to sample new stuff. They also learn how to order from the omelet station or ask for what they need from the waiters.
Watch: Mermaids in Boracay
Check out this video below of our family vacation in Boracay where the kids became mermaids. They enjoyed frolicking and swimming in their mermaid swimsuits!
Help kids to better enjoy the pool by allowing them to go through swimming lessons. Summer is approaching so there will be several swimming schools that will be open for lessons.
This swimming time with her cousin Darah has motivated her to learn to swim. She became a lot bolder in the water this week. Hope she will continue until we can have summer swimming lessons this April.
Homeschooling Lessons
We could actually bring our homeschooling materials so that the kids can do their lessons. But a lot of times we think, we are on our family vacation, why would we let our kids do their school work?
So last weekend was purely rest and recreation for the four of us. I highly recommend it for all busy families to create more happy family memories.
