[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They go visit their families. (Which my ILs are upset about. They wish we spent all our annual leave visiting them instead of vacations.)[/quote] Not to get too off track here -- but I do think that a lot of the conflict over family vacations you see on here is a result of income differences. When I was a kid, we camped or stayed with my Grandparents on vacation. My Grandparents had a lake house (a rustic cabin, not fancy at all) and we spent a ton of time there when I was a kid. Now maybe our parents have the same expectation, and instead we're now off to Europe etc. But that's the answer to your question -- camp or stay with family. The only time I went to the beach as a kid was when we visited family who lived driving distance away (but not really near) the beach. We'd drive over to the beach for the day. When I was poor and new to DC, we'd drive to Rehoboth for the day. Leave early and get back late, tired and sunburned, but we had a great time. [/quote]
