-keep wipes handy-one never knows when nature will call suddenly and there are no public restrooms close by
-update from above "tip". Bring doggie poop bags for your kids too.
-wait to go to dinner until at least 6 to most places. If you are looking for dinner at 5:30pm, you might end up waiting a while for something to open up.
-break in your shoes/sandals well ahead of time
-be sure to spray the kids with bug spray before you go out for the evening and before bed.
-buy a large, cheap umbrella for the beach-it will make everyone happier at the end of the day and let the gang stay out longer.
-you may find the best meals at the cheapest places.
