[quote=Anonymous]We are traveling to the West Coast this summer with our 3 year old to visit my parents.  The issue is that they have nothing at their house for a toddler.  They want me to stay for a week but they have a) no toys, b) live in a 55 plus non walkable community, c) no yard, d) not willing to child proof, etc.  It's a long flight so I feel like going for 3 days is a waste because of the jet lag, etc. but they are constantly nagging me to fly out there with toddler for a visit.  We see them twice a year, they come visit us.  They have no family out there so it's not like we can visit family while we're there.

How long should I go for and what should I do about the toys issue?  They refuse to get any kind of used toys and don't know anyone with grandkids in their new area.  I am flying by myself and only plan to bring one small suitcase so I can't fit many toys.  At home we have a big playroom filled with toys and I worry that my son is not going to do well visiting the Grandparents due to lack of toys, no other kids to play with, etc.  How should I deal with this visit?[/quote]
