Lake District end of June for a week (during term time, naughty). In-laws are with us so I can relinquish a lot of parental responsibility, which is nice.
Then 10 days st my uncle’s villa in Sotogrande, south Spain in August.

In Gran Canaria right now and my 19 year old is with us. They said “why would I turn down a free holiday?”We have thought this for a few years now. If the holidays are good enough, they will keep on joining you. Mine are 22 and 25, and they are with us again this year
Was 24C yesterday but it gets a bit chilly at night. Think it was “only” 16C last night and there were people wrapped up in coats with hoods up and I’m sitting there in shorts and t-shirt thinking “it’s been -2C for weeks, this still feels really warm.”
Loads of retirees around as well, never seen so many pensioners on my holiday before but we usually go away during peak time.
@Springveldt a spread of 16-24⁰c is my perfect level. We are currently tied to August for our main holiday so I sweat and struggle each year. Hopefully not too long and I'll be living that 16-24⁰c dream as well

I remember me and my brother in law having to do the walk of shame with our kids who were both about 8 at the time. Got right to the front of the queue and both the kids freaked out and refused to go on while me and him are trying our best to coax them on. Must have looked like the worst dads in the world.
Had to take the emergency stairs at the back to get out of the place.

Mine didn't know what it was, even after we got on the lift he was unsure, then the doors opened up the top and we dropped 100ft...he soon realised what was going on.
Is this the Star Wars ride you are talking about.....
My oldest boy was 9, but is tall so could get on rides that really he was to young for.
Ended up coming off the Star Wars Rollercoaster and a few minutes later burst out crying as he was scared to death.
We had to take a Time out after that

Scotland just after Easter - not really a holiday but visiting wife's family again. Cotswolds golf trip in July. Hopefully that'll be all but I'm sure my wife will make us spend money on an actual holiday somewhere. She keeps muttering about Dubai but sod that.

We went to Assisi a few years ago, not staying, just visiting. It is stunningly beautiful, a classic hilltop Italian town. If you are anywhere near it, definitely go.

Has anyone done a European river cruise? I can’t stand the idea of a massive ship cruise, but the 20 to 30 room boats look really good and you get to dock in the nice parts of town.
Also have seen one that you can play golf at decent courses 3 or 4 times in a week long cruise.

I was in Adeje, Tenerife at NY there and stayed in the new GF Victoria hotel. Absolutely loved it and would go back in a heartbeat if funds allow as it is a bit pricey
