[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dh's family likes the summer beach house rental and I can't stand it. I honestly don't think I can go again. It's $$$ (they don't pay), boring and I don't even like the dated, small town food. I'm left watching the 3 kids while everyone else gets to do fun things. The beaches are freezing up here too. I think dh's whole family has fond memories of being kids at the beach, but the reality is that it's awful. The 1960s condos are gross too.

On a cruise my 3 kids would enjoy the kids club, great food options (I love the formal dinner at night and I choose cruises with good food), there's constant entertainment and it would be warm. I personally love touring castles in Europe or trekking through Cambodia, but that's more of a couples trip. I have traveled a lot internationally with my kids and it's... an adventure to say the least.

A few people have mentioned the Viking river cruises. I just want to point out that you have to be 18, so make sure no one in the extended family is underaged. DH and I have done them, but [b]the average age is probably 70[/b]. [/quote]

Took our kids 18, 24, 25 on the Viking Danube River Cruise.  There were plenty of 50 and 60 somethings, along with a handful of honeymooners.  The thing is that we went on the trip to spend time together, so that didn't really matter.  And in the port towns, my kids could do whatever they wanted on shore.[/quote]
