If we are traveling with our adult children and young grandchildren, we let each person pick one or two activities and places to eat. This gives everyone something to look forward to no matter where we are. For example, I don’t like carnival rides but my husband does. He rides with the grandchildren while I take pictures of them. Of course, we try to introduce the youngsters to new activities whenever possible. Putt-Putt golf was a hit with the grandchildren. And a stop at a McDonald’s is always a treat for them.
Swimming, attending the state fair, riding the train and petting the animals at the zoo are some of the activities we have enjoyed together. We have heard some people make negative comments about taking grandchildren on vacation. For us, these family oriented vacations are fun and help expose children to adventures they enjoy.
But, of course, my husband and I often travel alone. I first learned to play golf last year. Since then we have played golf together in six different states. Some of the beautiful golf courses are picture worthy.
One of our favorite trips was on the Dave Koz Jazz Cruise. We enjoyed the talented musicians, great singers, delicious food, fun activities, great shopping, informative site seeing, and the friendly people we met on the cruise ship. It was a perfect romantic vacation. That is a trip we will take again some day.
