There are different kinds of vacations and different outcomes to each one. So far, I've felt the need not to call my outings with the family, a vacation.
It seems all the times I've been on vacation, I was just sitting inside a motel room, waiting with kids, like a nanny would do.
Maybe one day I'll actually have an outing that can be called a vacation. Until then, I'll enjoy our family trips whenever possible.
How often do you go on vacation?

It's that time of year when school is winding down, vacations are planned or being planned and the whole family is looking forward to this year's vacation.
