Grandparents using 'Skip-Gen' vacations to connect with grandkids: What to know about the travel trend - Fox Business
Parents aren't invited on these grandparent-grandchild trips
In the past, a nice bonding experience between a grandparent and grandchild might have been baking cookies or learning how to knit. Today, grandparents are branching out with different kinds of experiences to build relationships with their grandchildren.
Skip-Gen vacations -- the name for trips with only grandparents and grandchildren -- have been happening since at least the mid-1980s and have grown in popularity in the last several years.
"The interaction between a grandparent and a grandchild is a very special bond, different from that of your parents," JoAnn Bell, the senior vice president of Program Development at Road Scholar told FOX Business. "Just time to be alone with them and have some shared experiences is truly memorable."
