I'm not in any rush to plan another family trip with them anytime soon... but SIL and BIL keep bugging us about taking another trip! It was just stressful and expensive since we split the cost with SIL and BIL (whereas with my family, my parents won't let us pay a dime!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629406 Mon, 12 May 2014 14:45:40 +0000 cmomma17 1629406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Mine definitely doesn't. We probably last traveled as a family before I even hit middle school! </p> <p>DH wants to do a family trip with his parents (beachy, probably Florida) but then MIL had a string of health issues and none of us can afford it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629405 Mon, 12 May 2014 14:45:15 +0000 GrapeCrush 1629405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: nope, we don't either! </p> <p>I know my SIL wants to take all the kids to disney in a few years.

But we have to miss it this year because my husband's sister is getting married in August and we couldn't swing two trips in the same month with a toddler and limited vacation time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629367 Mon, 12 May 2014 14:33:37 +0000 lawbee11 1629367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is my family the only family that doesn't do family trips?! This concept is so foreign to me. I mean I love my family but I only get a couple of weeks of vacation/year so I'd kinda rather just vacation with DH and LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629357 Mon, 12 May 2014 14:32:15 +0000 raspberries 1629357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to the Outer Banks every year - parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins (and now their kids too!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629334 Mon, 12 May 2014 14:23:34 +0000 Dandelion 1629334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D went with my parents and my siblings to Disney World in February.

I told him the other day I'd like to take a family vacation to Hawaii or Disneyworld, since there is no way I'd get him to go otherwise! The rest of his family would love it though, especially since we're spread out in 3 countries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629259 Mon, 12 May 2014 14:01:18 +0000 Weagle 1629259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're meeting family in Asheville this summer, then our annual trip with my parents to the beach right after. His parents refuse to go anywhere but the mountains, and refuse to fly (so always the blue ridges), plus his family is pretty cheap. We'll always be doing family vacations with them in either NC or TN. My parents love to travel anywhere, but we're holding off on bigger vacations with them until our kids are older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629168 Mon, 12 May 2014 13:37:35 +0000 bushelandapeck 1629168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been on vacation with family since I was small...maybe 10? I've gone to FL with my mom only once but that was also many years ago. We don't have a family dynamic (mine or DH's) where family vacations would work out too well.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629150 Mon, 12 May 2014 13:30:25 +0000 BSB 1629150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I think I have. We tried planning a Vegas trip for Christmas last year. We weren't able to do it. Although, Christmas is such an expensive and busy time to go. We need to plan trips that are not around holidays.</p> <p>ETA: Now it makes me think a Europe trip would be very hard to convince. We need to think of a central place to go. Which will be the midwest. :/ Maybe a trip to New Orleans or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629143 Mon, 12 May 2014 13:28:40 +0000 Boogs 1629143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Just ask them! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629138 Mon, 12 May 2014 13:27:47 +0000 Mamaof2 1629138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH's family does a reunion every 2 years - next one is 2015 - Disney!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-or-next-big-family-trip#post-1629136 Mon, 12 May 2014 13:26:47 +0000 BSB 1629136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Nice.
