Last year we invited a family we were really just getting to know on vacation with us. We had done a few things together, our kids got a long great and we have a lot in common. We were a little nervous because we don't usually vacation with others where we have to share a cabin, and we had only known them about a year.
It went great!! Everyone had a fun time. The boys got to go fishing A LOT, I got to read A LOT, everyone got along and everyone helped out with meals and clean up. We decided right then we need to do it again so we made our reservation for this year right away to be sure we got teh same cabin.
Well, you may have guessed, they need to back out on us this year. We totally understand the reason, dad does not have the vacation time because of events they need to be at. One son is joining the National Guard and has boot camp this summer, they are going to his graduation (or whatever it is called when they are done with boot camp). The other son is in the Marines and is being deployed late summer and they want to see him before he leaves. So these 2 trips burn up dad's vacation time.
They told us last night. We are so bummed. We love hanging out with them and have been looking forward to this since last summer. They are also quite bummed because they don't really get a vacation this year.
We talked last night about who else we could invite, but no other couple/family really came to mind. We are talking a week in a small cabin in a remote part of Minnesota, so you have to create your own entertainment and you spend A LOT of time together, so you better like each other.
There is nothing anyone can do, this is just a vent on my part. Thanks for reading.
