Just because you have taken on the role of a grandparent as parent, does not mean that you can no longer plan and do special things with them.
Often times, in our busy lives, fun and vacation thoughts just do not get pondered due to the many day to day things that seem more important.
As grandparents raising grandchildren, you need to take the extra time to schedule these fun times to help keep your grandchildren healthy and emotionally balanced.
Once you get to know your grandchildren better, you can either talk to them about places they would like to visit, or watch them play and see what they pretend to be or where they imagine they are.
You can then think about, do some research online, or talk to other parents, about places that relate to your grandchild's imaginative and is not too far out of your budget.
There are many places you can go.
