'I waited so long for my kids to be 'old enough to appreciate' family vacations. Now I know the joke is on me!'
But being a travel nut, I took my kids on trips every year of their lives. Not just annual Disney trips but car trips to grandparents and plane rides across the country and once, memorably, to Australia. You can do 17 hoursNothing ever broke me, not Zombie-walking the hallways of a Stockholm hotel with a 1-year-old who never adjusted to the time change, nor having my toddler daughter stage a sit-in with a snowman in Vermont and absolutely refuse to budge.
Three things: I had lost sight of the fact that teens, like babies and 5 year olds and kids of every other age, love being in a hotel, especially if there’s a pool, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re in Dublin or Detroit. That’s where they want to be. The final revelation came three years later: Despite their behavior while there, my kids look back on that trip fondly.
I used that fact to talk a friend off the proverbial ledge recently, when she recounted how horrible her teen acted on a long-saved-for, much-anticipated family vacation. He moaned about sight-seeing and rolled his eyes in pictures. “Just watch,” I told her. “He is going to remember this completely differently.”
