[quote=Anonymous]Once they are in college - what happens is you spend much more time traveling to them. You get to know the areas of the country where they are in college. You find things to do - besides spending time w/them since they are busy.

We don't expect our college students to come on vacation with us. Sometimes the timing "works" as it looks to them - such as traveling 2 days to spend 1 day somewhere lol, so we may have trips that overlap but don't coincide very well. I insist they visit their Grandparents annually. They attend out of state so they enjoy seeing friends when they are home - prefer seeing friends - to leaving home and going somewhere else so unless it's for Grandparents or another very very significant event, it's feels inconsiderate of us to make plans for their school breaks. Regarding travel as an educational experience - at this point I no longer feel that this is my responsibility. We try to help w/$$ if we can, but it's mostly on their own.

One thing I do is make sure my kids spend time together. Their college breaks often don't match-up. I don't want them, at this age, to go more than 6 months without seeing each other. I insist/pay/arrange for each to fly to visit the other - in part to make sure that each has seen where the other goes to college.
