Rainy-day board games with your cousins will outlast most of the trips you took.

What sticks is rarely what cost the most. Expensive trips blur into a few photographs, while some rainy afternoon with a board game and people arguing about the rules stays available in detail for decades. Novelty is not what makes a memory durable. Being fully there with people you are comfortable around is.

Stop waiting for a big plan before you count something as time together. Play the game, stay in the kitchen, take the long way home with somebody. The unremarkable afternoon is usually the one you will want back.
