My brother in Arizona and his wife actually brought up us taking an actual family vacation next year so we are trying to put it together right now. I have a feeling there will be a few people that won't be able to make it (money, scheduling conflict, etc) but I am hoping we can make it work.
Pretty much the same here. As kids we took some..smokey mountains, florida, but for the most part it was camping somewhere within 2 hours.
Just could not afford to go on "real" vacations, and with baseball and all 5 of us kids schedules it was tough. My parents were very responsible in knowing what we could do.
WIsh my wife was the same. For some reason she was insistant on taking a family vacation for 9-10days with her 3 kids. Mind you that we just bought a house, she works like 5-6 hours a week and my job isnt that great, but by God we gotta trounce from Ohio to Florida and stop 10 times in between at sites on a vacation we, or should I say I, cannot afford.
Women. Ugh
