"Family" Vacation question
Would you go on a vacation with your family? Family = extended (mom, dad, aunts, uncles and their kids). Like rent a beach house and stay with them for a week or so?
My mom brought this idea up for next summer and while I think it could be fun, I think it might be too stressful at the same time.

Re: "Family" Vacation question
Our family talked about doing the same thing last summer, but we ended up not. However, we do go camping together a lot. Usually its my family, my aunts family, all the cousins there, and a few other people. We always seem to have a really good time. But we have been doing it for a while so we respect boundaries and understand sometimes people want to do there own thing. Though at the end of the day we all have our own campers to retreat to, we aren't sharing a house, that may make things a bit stressful.
i think no matter how much you love each other it is going to be stressful. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be worth it though. I think it depends on each family.
I could do it with my family (as much as i would want to kill them) because i know we could all have our own time to do what we want and could get away if i needed to and would still have a ton of fun. My friend goes with her ILs and they expect everyone to do everything together at all times and that would be too much for me.

Considering my mom's family is about 55 people in total, it would be a nightmare. I could go with some of my cousins and certain aunts and uncles, not everyone. It would be a hot mess.
Dad's family, forget it...my dad would kill them all before the cars took off.
DH's family...not a snowman's chance in hell we would ever even consider it.
I think it would be fun! But then again, the majority of my extended family lives in PA and FL so I don't get to see them that often so I'd love a vacation with them. Only thing about that is, one date never seems to work for everybody.
come on....do it for your nestie friends. haha
Yes. We went on a cruise with MIL/FIL, 2 uncles and 1 aunt. It was a great time.
We're going to Italy with my entire extended family (parents/uncles/aunts/cousins) in August 2013. Yes, we're freaks and planning REALLY early.

Yes but my family is really close, and everyone gets along really well. Both my mom and dad's sides. We have family reunions every year on my dad's side where we go stay at my grandma's cottage up north together, and it's always a great time. She has a pretty huge house though so it doesn't seem too too crowded, although some of us do camp on the beach.
I don't know if DH would say the same thing though! He likes quieter vacations with alone time for us.
Last summer we rented a house on a lake in Michigan on the west side of the state. It was me, H, my sis, her H, my niece (8 months old), their dog, my brother, my other brother, his girlfriend, my mom and my gma. Oh and our dogs.
We rented for a week and we were lucky to find a place that had 2 smaller houses on the property, on a private lake so we could have some space. It was nice, not all of us stayed for the whole week and we ended up having a good time. Of course my gma made us a little crazy...but she's my gma she always makes us crazy. LOL.
Overall we had a good time...it was nice to have separate spaces we could retreat to. My siblings and I are pretty close so it was nice just hang out together. I would do it again.
