[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I would like to begin a tradition of a yearly get away with our soon to be adult children. Our past vacations have been more road trip or travel abroads. We realize that with summer internships for our college aged children, these extended road trips aren’t realistic for the entire family anymore. I’m looking for ideas that have worked for you once your children have reached adulthood. Any ideas welcome. [/quote]

Flexibility; something not too far away; ability to come for a few days or more (and not guilt the IL kids if they decline to come: I was that DIL and it was HIGH pressure to come; I just didn't due to few days off and dealt with the negativity); Do your big trips with your dh and plan something else with kids, esp as they get older, marry, have their own kids. I feel sorry for people that have to go on 2 family trips per year, one with each side of the family, same beach, similar house, and never get a say in having their own vacation. They seem to like it, so I guess it works. But in our family (only dh's side does this) it's getting harder and harder to get together with "everyone" like we used to. It's just how it is. We try to see each part of families on weekends or kids birthday parties. No big vacations for my family side, but I've taken a 20 hour road-trip with my sibling and it was awesome, one on one.
