Especially when we live far from siblings, these vacations/business trips/family gatherings will make all the difference in their future relationships with each other. We did Wis. Dells with my sisters' family in February and are taking a huge family cruise in December--I have a more positive outlook thanks to your post!Sue and Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821391041886813101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-62813791854030591932010-05-24T20:17:44.143-05:002010-05-24T20:17:44.143-05:00LOVELY post and I think you've captured vacati...LOVELY post and I think you've captured vacationing with kids PERFECTLY.<br />Sidenote: We went to Hilton Head last year for a wedding and it was gorgeous.

Not sure how to phrase it when expecting twins...) I have to admit I'm astonished that I'm not more upset about leaving the little man, but instead am delirious over the idea of sleeping past 6:15am.Actchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320025313541534433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-75282408227015076072010-05-21T12:05:50.340-05:002010-05-21T12:05:50.340-05:00claire, on modern family, referred to their trip t...claire, on modern family, referred to their trip to hawaii as "a business trip". that will be my new phrase for our family vacations. but good reminder, too, of the wonder of it all. really, we are quite lucky.mshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-7476491132302752132010-05-21T09:43:37.852-05:002010-05-21T09:43:37.852-05:00Oh my I have heard about those pics of all the kid...Oh my I have heard about those pics of all the kids, but had not seen them yet.....too stinking cute!!kenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970035463596646680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-68444708301715075522010-05-21T05:19:52.387-05:002010-05-21T05:19:52.387-05:00After a fairly exhausting day recently I said to m...After a fairly exhausting day recently I said to my husband, "I need a vacataion ... no kids, no dogs, no you ... just me and total silence." My oldest daughter started to cry and said she wanted us to all go together. So after making amends, I told her I was just joking (well ... sorta).<br /><br />Vacations are sooo much work for us moms ... and unfortunately, we remember what it was like to sit on a beach with a book. Alone. <br /><br />But like you say, watching how much joy they are having in all the new adventures is really worth all the hassle .. and we are really going to miss it when they are grown.Merri Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777226666974537073noreply@blogger.com
