[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only you (with your husband) can decide this. How well can you count on DD to put on sunblock. I have 2 girls and one is as fanatical about it as you can be, and the other never thinks of it herself.

You don't say how long the trip is, but if it's for a long weekend I'd allow it, after giving DD a big talk about sunscreen and rash guards, and brainstorming and playing out what she can do when clashing with the older cousin. She'd have to call me every night. [/quote]

OP here.  I think it would be for a long weekend, but here's the thing that drives me batty; my ILs are notoriously flaky when it comes to schedules and times.  They run late for everything, forget/mix up times for events, are retired and have no set schedule, etc.  So, they may tell me "four days at the beach," but then they'll decide to stay an extra few days and why doesn't DD extend her time away, etc.?

DD is extremely fair skinned.  Translucent, nearly.  Blonde with blue eyes.  Hates to wear sunblock and won't willingly apply it.

The car trip is about 3 hours.  Family condo in VA Beach.[/quote]
