Not judging, the thought would never enter my mind.

Read the OP, nobody to leave kids with.

I would fly them to wherever family is, drop them with family and vacation close by or fly somewhere else.

Yes, everyone has money for that as well as family who is willing to do that.

Except ... No, that's not true.

Why not drop them at Grandma's? Or have Grandma/Grandpa/Aunt Larla come to you?

European cruise. Look at Royal Caribbean. We did a lovely Mediterranean cruise with them as a huge family, and everyone loved it, ages 3 to 73.

It's not. It's actually a pretty good option for an anniversary trip because you can leave your kids in the kids club whenever you want adult time. (They have one or two adult restaurants, depending on the ship, and lots of adult clubs). If your kids are like ours (similar ages) they'll beg to be in the clubs as much as possible. There are definitely Disney characters around but you don't need to meet them if you don't want to. You could alspo pick a trip that has lots of excursions, like Europe and Med cruises.

Take kids to where there is family, leave kids, and go somewhere relatively nearby. Aunt in Indiana? Go to Chicago. Grandparents in Michigan? Go to the Grand Hotel.

Hawaii - Hilton Hawaiian Village has good activities for kids so that the adults get some alone time.

Hawaii!

Any thought to a cruise? If you head somewhere other than the Caribbean you should be OK regarding Zika (not sure what time of year you are looking at). Cruises have awesome kids clubs, and your kids are the best ages for them - not too little, not too big to this they are babyish.
