My best guess is that most families could use a little get away from time to time. I'm also pretty convinced that taking time away from cell phones, iPads, televisions etc. while on vacation is also needed, but much easier said than done.
Last weekend my Macaroni Kid family set out on an adventure with one big goal in mind, device free togetherness! We were completely successful in achieving that goal and we owe it all to YMCA of the Rockies at Snow Mountain Ranch -- the perfect place for an affordable family getaway ensuring togetherness and adventure without spending time on social media.
See for yourself. Our kids didn't pick up their phones once. They couldn't because they were busy having so much fun!
