For the past couple of weeks, I have been trying to find a resort where we can take the kids for a one day picnic, but I have not been able to find anything suitable. We will be three families consisting of 8 adults with around seven kids. We just want to be spending a day at a resort where kids can play, go for a swim, do some family activities and also get some good food. A resort is suitable because the kids and play freely without the adults being worried about them being lost. There is no budget yet and for the time being it is just a matter of finding a place to go to.
