Vacationing with Adult Kids

My husband and I recently completed a week vacation with my daughter and her husband. It was very relaxing and very unstructured. We each got up when we chose to, eat when and what we wanted during the day, and then went out for a nice dinner every night. I remember traveling with the kids when they were young. Every moment was accounted for, every activity planned. Relaxation was a dirty word. Just packing and planning took weeks. For this trip, I packed the night before and didn’t forget a thing. My husband and I took our car, and the kids drove theirs, so we had plenty of room for our stuff, and we stopped when we needed to without inconveniencing anyone. The men played golf a couple of times while we shopped and got a pedicure. Oh life is good! Even though we went with our kids, as adults, we all got along very well. When grandchildren come along the crazy fun begins again and that will be another phase in our life after 40.
