Family Vacation - Opinions needed
We are going on a week long family vacation along with my family. DH has expressed the desire to do "guy" things for one day with the other men going (my bro and BIL).
Do you think it is acceptable for him to take a day without the family, or since it is a family vacation, he should do what we do?
Opinions?
(I already have my own answer to this question, but it's a discussion between me and my Mom, so I am wondering what others would do)

Sure, why not. You should take a day and do girl things too.

Absolutely okay!
ETA: Assuming you don't mean strip clubs or something like that!

We went on a family cruise 2 years ago. One of the excursions was just me, mountain biking in Maine. DW was all for it. She did some things without me and DC as well.
Family vacations don't have to mean being attached at the hips 24/7 for the entire trip.

Re: Family Vacation - Opinions needed
I would expect the men to have a day or night for just them and the women to have one for them as well. It a vaca for everyone so evryone should have some time to enjoy it 
Plus maybe the kids would think its cool to get to do something with just the moms one day and then just the dads another day while the others are out.

Re: Family Vacation - Opinions needed
Totally fine for the guys to golf, fish, whatever on their own.
I would want to carve out a spa day for the girls too.

Definitely, as long as the same courtesy is extended to the ladies to spend a day (without kids) doing their own thing!

I didn't vote b/c my vote is, it's ok as long as the girls get a day too. It's only fair.

Can you see me leaving all three kids with R, J and D? They would wind up feeding them hotdogs and beer for lunch

Ray does fine with the 3 of them by himself and he will have extra hands to help him out. Plus your Dad will be there to be the voice of reason and keep them in line!
