The New Family Vacation
Briefly

The classic 20th-century family vacation was typically a nuclear one, comprising a mom, a dad, and their young kids. Grandparents and other relatives seldom came along. But more and more, research shows, families tend to bring multiple generations with them. This, in turn, has changed people's preferred travel destinations, and even the very purpose of travel.
But the real value of these trips might be how they give relatives an opportunity to freshen their perception of the people they've known for perhaps their entire life. Travel can take us out of our familiar contexts, with their routines and set roles, and offer people a chance to see one another differently.
