Even decades later, grandchildren and grandparents remember their beloved"gramping" trips. Ali Abouzalam and Martha Webb in Belize on their shared vacation.
In Belize, they ate at good restaurants, saw wild monkeys and visited Caye Caulker island by boat. Abouzalam climbed pyramids while Webb, who uses a walker, watched from the ground. Abouzalam got a golf cart and a wheelchair to help her get around. During their vacation, Mitchell purposefully had them eat meals with different people. She spoke French to get around. “I got to see where she lived in Paris, I got to see where her parents worked in Paris, I got to see where she went to school,” McInerney recalled.
Even before the trip started, Clemons said her grandparents involved her and her brother in the planning of the long drive. The summer road trips were just one of many outings Clemons had with just her grandparents, which included a cross-country drive from Virginia to Los Angeles: “They loved it, there was no twisting their arm to say, ‘Hey, can you take the kid?’” Clemons said.
Abouzalam said he appreciates how he got to go a little bit deeper with his grandmother over dinners. “Having her reflect on her entire life and share that with me was pretty powerful,” he said.
