[quote=Anonymous]We have 4 kids, now 14-23 y.o., and we have many happy memories of family vacations.  This summer I was bracing myself for the possibility that our oldest wouldn't join us for vacation, but he did and we all had a blast.  Since childhood I've always wanted to spend every summer vacation at the same place -- Cape Cod -- and we've done that often, but you know, not everyone wants that.  My DH and 2 of our kids are much more adventurous travelers, while the other 2 are like me -- happy to return to the Cape every summer.  We've had to compromise and branch out -- with great results.  Our kids are all active, so boardwalk arcades, amusement parks and shopping are less of a draw than swimming, surfing, boogie-boarding, kayaking, sailing, cycling, hiking, tennis, and skiing in the winter.  We still return to the Cape some years, though this year we did not, and we always make a point of doing something with extended family -- even if just  a long weekend, but exploring new places together is also fun and brings out different aspects of kids' personalities.  Even my 2 "returners" have become more adventurous, and as a returner myself, I admire that in them.            [/quote]
