Travel with your parents!

IIt's hardly an original thought or concept, but it was so great being on vacation with my whole family.

FDR got to bond with his grandparents, aunt & uncle, and cousins. 

But more importantly, his grandparents got to bond with him - which was the best vacation for them. FDR's at the age where he's starting to have some separation anxiety issues. If we left him with my parents and then walked away, he was fine. It was only when he saw us again - if we walked back into the room - that he would start crying.

Also, renting a house where we could all stay together was a million times better than staying in a hotel. We could really settle in and had a lot of space to ourselves.

Best of all, we had built-in babysitting! So Tom and I had a couple of boozy lunches and a "nice" (you don't go to Providenciales for fancy restaurants) dinner, and generally had some much-needed "us" time.
