[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is an anniversary trip.  You said it twice - in the subject and again in the message.  Anniversary to me is about celebrating your marriage, which is different than celebrating our family.  The marriage is between 2, not 4 people.  At least for me, my anniversary is a thing between me and my husband.  A time to mark the day and remember the reasons we took the plunge in the first place.

If you want a family vacation, just call it that or pick a different occasion and go.  Which isn't to say it is WRONG to bring your kids... it is just that you are asking the question in the first place, so some part of you personally, and not just me (a stranger), must feel that this should be an occasion you celebrate as a couple only.

OP here.  Good points, though the kind of trip would be determined whether we bring the kids or not, as well as the length of the trip.  If we bring them, we might go somewhere "easier" to navigate with kids, vs. if we left them home.  And an international trip, to me, means at least a 2 week trip, which is a long time for us to be away from our kids.  I've heard from people who are horrified we might bring them and from people who are horrified we'd go without. I was just curious what DCUMers would do.  We probably will try do both- a domestic trip somewhere more kid-friendly and an international trip where DH and I have always wanted to go.  If finances permit, that is...as well as babysitting arrangements.[/quote]
