We are "obsessed" with our grandkids, heck with our entire family. We have always been a camping family. We retired early at 56 and 55 and are now going on 5 years of full timing. With the mortgage being paid off next year we could not have retired 5 years ago without having renters paying the house off (Southern California). Working would have limited face time with the now 4 and 2 year olds. When we get back in the area usually for a month it's every day. Also the family usually picks a spot interesting we are at and drives or fly's to us if we're gone extended times. So far it has worked out well for us.
