36 Instagram Captions For Family Vacations With Your Actual Day 1s

Over the years, your family has really made the most of summer. There have been the annual barbecues around the Fourth of July, and the tropical trips and cruises when school wasn't in session. You've rented the same beach house on the East Coast from one August to the next, and spent weeks splashing in the waves and doing puzzles together. Every trip you’ve taken has come with a scrapbook’s worth of memories, so you already know to pack captions for family vacations before your next getaway.

This year, you might even write down extra captions in a note on your phone, before getting in your car with your beach chair and suitcase. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, you probably haven’t spent a substantial amount of time with your family in months, and are planning this trip so you can finally hug each other and have in-person conversations whenever you want. You may have booked it the day after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released its guidance saying that it’s safe for fully vaccinated people to travel. Everyone in your family who’s fully vaccinated may be attending, making this the most epic and highly-anticipated vacation — or vaxication, if you will — you’ve taken yet.

From the moment you arrive, you know cameras will be pulled out and ready to capture the once-in-a-lifetime memories. On one side of the group hug, your cousins will be filming an Instagram story, while you and your siblings take live photos that you can edit later on. These family vacation captions are as sweet as the lemonade you’ll sip on near the pool, and will pair nicely with your getaway ‘Grams. Peruse them when you’re packing your suitcase, or chilling by the shore with your Day 1s.
