[quote=Anonymous]I wanted this too, and vacationed with my ILs last year.

Tips:

(1) don't let childless people pick the hotel.  My FIL picked the cheapest hotel with no pool, tiny rooms, no cribs, no fridge to put baby food and bottles, and one that was very far away in an area where parking was impossible.  It was impossible to entertain my toddler, who was forced to cosleep with us.  I hated carrying a heavy toddler uphill many times a day too.

(2) Don't let them decide the plans.  My inlaws chose the following plans for us.  I was pregnant and had a 18 month old.  (a) hot springs swimming (b) steep hiking where they had warnings about bringing kids (c) museum with lots of breakables where my son was screamed at to the point where we left in tears.

(3) Don;t let them pick the restaurants.  Sushi, ice cream shop FOR DINNER, crazy vegan health store where they only had "raw milk and raw cheese"  Hello Listeria!

That was the last vacation I took with them.  I felt like an angry shrew the whole time, and we came back even more exhausted than when we left.[/quote]
