Fictional example · USAParents with teenagers
Clouds hid the peaks when we arrived. Our guide found a sheltered place to wait, and a few minutes later the ridgeline appeared. Even our teenager, who had complained about the early start, said it was worth getting up for.
Fictional example · GreeceParents with two children
Huangshan was the big adventure for the children, but Hongcun was where we all slowed down. Our guide explained how water runs through the village, and the kids spent the rest of the walk following the channels with their eyes.
