Vacation Time 2015 #Giveaway Event ARV ($1500)

1:30 AM   , ,   93 comments

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?
