Beyond what has already been said by other posters, they take vacations all the time. I get that it was probably a narrative technique, to get them out of the way and either keep Ron around or move him away, but it was unbelievably frustrating that they would choose to all go out and have fun before getting Ron a wand that was actually attuned to him, considering how central to their lives wands are.
I’m probably biased both in my love of (the idea of) magic and in my enjoyment in being a homebody, though I’m not sure what that might be called at the moment.
