Just got back from an international trip and dealing with kid crap every aspect of every day is just such a downer. Want to have a relaxing meal out? GOOD LUCK.  Walk around a city aimlessly? Nope.

Not to say there aren't good things about travel with kids, but travel definitely highlights the aspects of having them that are hard.

I know some parents with one kid find it to be not that bad but once you have two kid aged kids it's just so hard sometimes. [/quote]

This is why I alternate family travel with just-DH and me travel[/quote]

How old are your kids?  Who watches them for these trips?
I would love to do this, but we have a 6yo and a 2yo.  Closest family are my parents who are 2.5 hours away and, while I think they’d likely be ok to handle the kids overnight, any longer than that would make me nervous.  All other family members are on the West Coast.[/quote]

Different PP, and in the cases where we've done this either my in laws will come (they're 2.5 hours away) or my own mom who is more flexible but farther away.

I don't know  if my mom would want a whole week anymore, and I know my inlaws wouldn't, so I might have to wait a few years until the kids are out of the same age range as yours when they are a little more easily managed to do anything longer than a long weekend. 2-4 and 6-7 is just a hard period, IMO, especially with two. [/quote]You are lucky.  Our oldest was 16 before DH and I were able to have a long weekend alone together.  [/quote]
