Today's grandparents are no longer content nesting at home! The baby boomers are a "get up and go" generation. Many boomers have discovered that traveling with their grandkids is one of the best ways to connect and make memories. Our very own Tony Huffman shares his seven tips for a successful "skip-gen" travel experience.

Find the Sweet Spot

My feeling is the perfect age to take your grandkids is when they are between 10-14. This is before they get too distracted with social media and life!

Be the Cool Caregivers

When traveling, I find that not forcing the grandchildren to dress up for daytime activities is always a crowd-pleaser. However, insist they do dress up for evenings.

My Most Memorable Experience on a "Skip-gen" Trip

In Rome, touring the small, secret streets via golf cart. Mask making in Venice - nothing more fun than watching your grandchildren’s creative abilities come out in a foreign country. A private cooking class in Florence, where they worked hard and then loved every bite of what they made!
