My kids will always be welcome on our vacations; it is something we all look forward to. This may be the first year we will not have a beach vacation together; one child starting a new job and the other beginning medical school rotations. I think my husband is the saddest about not having the family vacation. We will try for at least a long weekend in between where both kids are.

I know a few families where the parents take a yearly vacation with all the kids and grandchildren, on the parents dime. One of the families also takes a babysitter for the little kids, my daughter! While she works hard while on these trips, she has a good time as she loves the family. We have had to check their schedule before we could book our family vacation each year; one year my poor deprived daughter went from one beach location to another! My husband always said when he dies he wants to come back as my daughter!! Daddy will do anything for her, even when mean old mom says no.
