[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  The cost isn't a factor.  Our kids are 12 months and 3.  We go to the beach for vacations because it's the easiest and most child-friendly vacation that both our kids like.  Usually beach towns don't have name brand hotels such as the "Ritz."  We usually stay in nice but family friendly hotels.  They do like the beach, that's not the issue.  It's just that they don't want to vacation in non-fancy places.  If they were willing to vacation with us it would be a great way for them to see the kids more because it's too hard to go and visit them since my husband doesn't get much vacation time.

[b]I have this dream of the big, warm, loving family vacations where we rent a big house at the beach and spend a fun week together.  Sadly, that kind of vacation will never happen, not with my family and not with DH's either.[/b][/quote]

OP, I posted earlier - I know it's hard but I think you need to let this vision go. When my mom visits it's a lot like what you describe - sitting around the house or wanting to be driven on errands, very little doing things with the kids. If you did all go on a vacation together, wouldn't it be them sitting in the house just like when they visit you? Take the trips you want and let them take theirs. You can do things like Skype to try to foster a relationship with your kids.[/quote]
