[QUOTE="donna723, post: 54205, member: 1883"] Mikey, I'm on the fence about this one too. If you do decide to go, I'd leave the girlfriend at home where she belongs! Did your son get to tag along on HER families vacation? Didn't think so! If you could pull the trip off, your kids would have a great time, inspite of themselves! And it would be a [i]wonderful[/i] way to spend some "guy time" alone with your sons. If the girlfriend goes along ... no way! If she was there, he'd spend all his time involved with her and the whole point of the trip would be lost. You'd turn into the "chaperone". I know they'd have a good time on the trip. Guys that age like to act cool and unimpressed, even when they are enjoying themselves. When my son was 21, it took him an entire SIX MONTHS to finally casually mention how much he [i]enjoyed[/i] a trip to a big art museum with his sister and I! All that time he had never said a word and we just assumed that he was tagging along to be polite! [/QUOTE]
