[quote=Anonymous]We just never got in this trap, but my inlaws like the same places (multiple of the same place!) every year. We frequently say "we love exploring new cities!" "We aren't beach people." "Florida in August is pretty miserable, so we aren't interested in that again." "We did that last year, so we don't want to do it again for many years" "We want the kids to see a new city." I say everything very nonchalant and am blase about it, not mean, but I can't do Destin, Ocean City and Atlantic City yearly.

It helps immensely that DH and I are on the same page. We get 3 weeks of vacation. A week of that is spent around holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter) and we always see family on holidays. The rest of it is spent on our international vacation and a 3 day weekend domestically here and there. We invite inlaws with us on our big vacations, but they have never come with us. Vacation to them means sitting. Vacation to us means exploring different cities. My parents usually join us on our big vacation, but would stand down if my inlaws wanted to come instead. [/quote]
