[quote=Anonymous]Tradition can feel like shackles to the next generation. Basically you are saying "please do our preferred vacation forever DIL, even though you maybe grew up with DIFFERENT traditions". Now, your beach trip sounds incredible We do a similar one in our family and it's wonderful. So I'd suggest not seeing it as a slight that your trip is not nice enough. If you can, join your son and DIL. If your DH can't come, well ok he can't come. But next year, seriously consider either trying to do both, or just planning a trip with your son and DIL. Maybe ask to plan a trip *not* in the summer with them, when your DH isn't so busy. Desiring a different type of vacation is not a full sale rejection of YOU. Please don't equate the two. It's not a "lot to process" you've known since January. Please keep perspective.[/quote]
