Vacation With a Big Group (Seriously!) | Care and Feeding | Slate’s parenting show Podcast [Video]

On this episode: Zak, Lucy and Elizabeth talk about the bold thesis statement of this piece from Romper Magazine… arguing that actually, traveling with a big group is the best way to relax on vacation. We’ll talk strategy for booking reservations, handing off kid duties, and casting the perfect vacation collective.

We also dole out a round of recommendations for beating the heat — and, for our Slate Plus listeners, we’re taking a trip down memory lane and sharing some travel-themed triumphs and fails.

Zak recommends: a hat box so the kids can choose their own
Lucy recommends: Twister Splash
Elizabeth recommends: UV Umbrella & Handheld Mini fan
