Some of the fondest memories I have growing up was the family vacations. Don't know how much he will remember being 4 years old, but I say go for it and take `em along.
My dad lives about 5 hours away and he ALWAYS has a excuse for not coming to visit his grandson....yet he doesn't understand why he doesn't bond with him the few times per year that we are all together.
I am sorry..your dad is missing out. We have family exactly the same, they now wonder why as adults my children don't call them.
DavePete,
We have great memories with our kids when they were little and still now with them and their kids camping. It is different though taking a small child from his enviroment, away from his mum.
I would love to see a trip like this work wonderfully. We have tried with all five of ours. It is not that we aren't close either, like I said, they have practically lived here, LOL.
After the first week they missed home and we have had to drive them back. Either that or listen to a child screaming in sorrow.
I would like to hear from others who have done this with small children.
We camp with our grandchildren and their parents right now. When the little ones get older we will take them longer. Next year the oldest two will be 11 and 12. We plan on taking them on a long trip.
The decision will be yours. We can all give opinions and I feel mine might differ from most. The decision you make will be the right one. We don't know either you or your family and can only give our personal family stories.
You will have a great trip however your decision goes.
