@travelwithmeko: Snowboarding… inside a mall?! ❄️🏂 We took the kids to @Big SNOW American Dream — North America’s first and only indoor, real-snow ski + snowboard park. It stays 28° year-round, so you can actually practice winter sports… even in the middle of December in New Jersey 😂 But here’s the real reason we came: When you’re planning trips with kids, it’s so important to test things locally before flying somewhere totally new. You get a feel for what your kids enjoy (and what they absolutely don’t), and you learn what kind of parent you are in that environment. Sometimes they surprise you… and sometimes they remind you they’re still kids and will humble you QUICK. 😭😂 Trying an activity close to home saves you money, saves you stress, and might even change your whole destination if you realize your kids hate the thing you thought they’d love. The first step is always just trying it out. And honestly? My kids might be little natural snowboarders after today. 🥹🏂💙 #snowboard #kidssnowboarding #americandream
