And A Baby Carriage.

365 Days of Family Fun

family


Experiencing the world with children is one of the most magical things on earth. Traveling and going on adventures alone is exciting, but watching it through your kids eyes is breathtaking.

Cheering from the stands for our favorite baseball team.

Seeing the excitement on my sons face when he gets a bite on his fishing rod.

Hearing squeals of joy as they ride the miniature roller coaster at the amusement park.

Holding my kids’ hands as they walked onto the beach for the first time last year was incredible. Watching them reach down, grab the sand and then run into the waves was worth every minute we spent in an airport and on a plane, and it was certainly worth the money we spent to get there.

It confirmed to me how much more I still want to do with them.

I love planning big and small adventures with my family. Sometimes it’s a simple camping trip or going to a local fair. Other times it’s a trip we’ve been planning for months like a weekend getaway or a beach vacation. No matter what we’re doing, experiencing the world with my kids is one of my number one priorities. 

Save

I strive to find ways to make these family fun trips happen, and with the new U.S. Bank Cash 365™ American Express® Card, I can easily earn money for them. If I’m going to be spending money on my groceries, gas, etc., why not get money back that I can spend on fun?

With this card, you earn 1.5% cash back on everyday net purchases. I can use that money for passes to the zoo, to rent a boat for the day or maybe a couple of airline tickets. It can be used for anything! Your rewards never expire. 

The card has no annual fee and gives you all the benefits of any other American Express card like emergency assistance and return protection. And right now you could earn a $100 Customer Relationship Bonus. Tell me about how you like having fun with your family for a chance to win a $100 Visa Gift Card.

 

What would you spend your cash back on first? Leave a comment for a chance to win a $100 gift card.

Whether it’s traveling, attending sporting events, fishing, or visiting amusement parks, the joy and wonder reflected in their faces is priceless. Cheering for a favorite baseball team becomes more enjoyable when shared with children. Watching their excitement when they get a bite on their fishing rod or ride a miniature roller coaster is filled with happiness. Check this https://brainwavetrail.com/portable-snack-ideas-for-kids/

    Introducing them to the beach for the first time, holding their hands as they run into the waves, is truly incredible. These moments remind us of the beauty in the world and the importance of cherishing simple pleasures. The investment in time, effort, and resources is overshadowed by the immeasurable value of creating unforgettable memories with our children.
