[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it's crazy. I LOVE to travel, but we can only afford one trip each year and it's usually not crazy. I try to be mindful that I may be envious, but truly I see some families where the kids really seem like they need to just have some family time at home. Or weekends with playdates. They are not super enthused about the constant travel on every long weekend or break. There is a TON to do in DC so it's not like you'd be bored. I also think about the environmental impact and wonder if these families consider that. [/quote]

This is where we land. We also sometimes do a big international trip and then the following year just do a few smaller domestic trips and don't do any big destination. Sometimes I do envy specific trips but I don't actually envy people who are doing trip after trip. We like our house a lot, have a pretty great routine with lots of fun stuff built in (time with friends, museum trips, weekend hikes, pool time in summer). Why would I have put so much effort into our home and life here if I wanted to spend asuch time as possible elsewhere?[/quote]

I could have written this.  We are the same.  We take an international trip once every couple years.  That’s enough for us.  We could do more, but for us going every few years makes it feel special.  While our kids have enjoyed the couple of overseas trips they’ve been on, some of their favorite vacations growing up were a beach house in North Carolina with their cousins and grandparents.[/quote]
