[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HHI of $800k with two under five and at this point I can’t imagine anything other than the most basic, driveable beach rental vacay. Maybe we will fly to the Caribbean eventually but I don’t like all-inclusive because we don’t drink, don’t want to send the kids to a kids’ club, and don’t like eating out more than one or two meals a week. Omg we sound like the most annoying people ever! DH and I traveled quite a bit in our early marriage but we have settled down to being homebodies in our mid-late 30s. Maybe we will grow out of it once both kids reach ES.[/quote]

ETA: I hear about families taking their somewhat older kids to Paris or Japan or New Zealand (all places I loved going to pre-kids) and I am simultaneously jealous but also “WTF that sounds awful”. I guess I am just tired…[/quote]

Yes that’s all it is. We didn’t do it in the early years either. I mean, we went NOWHERE for “vacation” because none of it seemed doable with the little ones. Even when the youngest was in K, we spent spring break hunkered down at home resting and recuperating. Everything is just so tiring then. My kids are now 13 and 9. We’re in Europe right now and they’re doing great. Can walk all day, eat any restaurant, entertain themselves on trains and planes. It’ll be you one day too, but I wouldn’t have been able to believe that either when I was in your position. [/quote]
