[quote=Anonymous]I feel you.  My husband's dad and stepmom live in Dallas, as do his mom and stepdad.  We visit once a year for a week and divide our time between them.  My MIL and her husband are active people so visiting them is always fun.  We'll go to good restaurants, see the Arboretum, go to a museum, the state fair, whatever.  My FIL and his wife are great people, but they have a variety of health concerns and are definitely homebodies.  For years visits with them involved sitting on the couch talking, watching movies, eating, and being molested by their German Shepherd.  Finally we realized it was up to us to break up the monotony.  Now we bring fun board games, plan outings, go for walks, go out to the mall, etc.  For the outings we always ask if they'd like to come along or if there is anything we can get for them while we are out.  Invariably we end up going to Wal-Mart to pick up the huge bag of dry dog food and the canned dog food that is too heavy for them to manage. [/quote]
