[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, I think in this case I'd be tempted to say you think a future trip would work out better.

However, if you're going to go along with her, I think you have to be very clear about the reality of the trip.

"Mom, we're planning to do Adventure Park on Friday, but we could meet you for a 6:00 p.m. dinner at the hotel restaurant. We'll have to leave by 7:30 to get Joey into bed. On Saturday morning, we're going on a boat ride, which you might enjoy. But in the afternoon, you'll have to entertain yourself since we'll be doing a ropes course. I'm worried that you'll be bored since so much of Destination X is focused on adventure travels. If you'd prefer, you could come visit us for a laid-back weekend at home, and then next summer we could plan something that would be more fun for you."[/quote]

I think I would go this route. If it is a trip you already planned, it might be easier to plan the next one with your mom in mind. Or what about a mother-daughter long weekend with the kids home with dad? [/quote]
