Vacationing with family is a trip. Trying to get everyone on the same page at the same time is challenging and impossible! As it should be. I am sitting here at 5AM and thinking about my desire to have everyone on my time schedule AND remembering that You Matter means I have to give everyone their own space. What is different is that if their time/desire doesn’t match mine, it is okay. We don’t have to do everything together, the kids, grandkids, Harriet can “do their own thing” and that’s cool. I can do my own deal and that is cool too. We are having an almost stress-free time using this concept as our “Golden Rule”.
Today are massages for the girls, beach for the kids and I am going for a shvitz! Tomorrow, whoever wants can come with Harriet and me to the Art Walk in Puerto Vallarta and then on Thursday is Catarina’s Birthday. So, while things are planned, only Thursday night at dinner is mandatory for everyone. I will let you know how it all went on Friday.
What is your experience/ideas for family vacation fun that is together and individual?
