Spending time with family never goes out of style.
Here are five ways to gather:
1. Skip-gen or Gramping
Many grandparents are eager to spend time with the grandkids. An easy solution: a skip-gen or gramping vacation. Parents get a break and grandparents and grandkids get to know each other without the filter of mom or dad on the scene. Grandparents: Don’t wait to share your experiences and knowledge with your grandkids. Are you a World War II veteran? Did you grow up inspired by jazz or classical music? Did the ethnic or rural neighborhood of your youth greatly influence the person you are today? Visit a war memorial, take in a small concert or visit the old stomping grounds. It will mean more to hear a bit of history from someone who has been there than what they’ll find in schoolbooks. And remember, you are part of their history. To that end, consider floating your ideas for a future getaway in person, via FaceTime or Zoom and start sharing your stories now.
