This may be a bit conservative, but I might suggest having N hours in
the logbook before venturing N miles from home with passengers. That
is, log 300 hours before taking your family 300 nmi away. One could
argue for a 2:3 ratio (200 hours for 300 nmi), but I think you get my
intent. Your terrain, weather, schedule, airspace, currency and skills
should influence this, but these are hard to quantify, so a simple rule
has some benefits.

Good luck!
