[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I do think it's normal to do a few long weekend getaways. But often times the reason is to visit grandparents. Still, only one week a year seems like sad, and you're missing the opportunity to teach them all the lessons you learn from travel--flexibility, coping with changes to routine, to enjoy exploration, and basic skills for flights and airports. I would try to plan a few long-weekend trips by car.

I don't think never ever going to the beach is sustainable or fair to them. Why does your DH not like it, and why can't you swim?

The kid is 4…. Lots of time to travel.

And my family hates the beach. We’ve been twice and my oldest kid is 15. [/quote]

I think it’s important that everyone knows how to swim.  Maybe go to the Y on weekends for swim lessons.   There will be times where your children will be somewhere that involves swimming.

Boston has beaches close by and some crappy ones actually in Boston.  She could at least see ,the ocean.  [/quote]
