"Every year, for the last six years, my boys spend a week or two in Virginia with my in-laws at their house after the excitement of summer camp and family vacation has settled. Living five hours away from them, my kids don't get as much quality time with their grandparents during the school year as they'd like. Often, we spend winter or spring break at an Airbnb catching up with them,"
"Temporarily relocating to the home where my husband grew up, my boys explore his childhood surroundings while forming a deep connection with their grandparents. From daily swims at their local indoor and outdoor community pools - along with private swimming lessons - to frequent games of mini-golf, their schedules are jam-packed with all their favorite activities. Each summer, my in-laws and kids draft the daily schedule together on FaceTime in the weeks leading to their reunion."
My two sons spend one to two weeks each summer with their grandparents in Virginia, compensating for limited contact during the school year because the grandparents live five hours away. The parents use the break to reconnect without the children. The grandchildren stay in the home where their father grew up and engage in daily swims, private swimming lessons, mini-golf, museum visits, and a Colonial Williamsburg day. The in-laws and kids coordinate a daily schedule by FaceTime in the weeks before the visit. Occasional winter or spring breaks at Airbnbs provide extra catch-up time when schedules align, making the extended summer stays a spectacular vacation.
