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.

I'm kinda in the same boat, i'm one of 10. We'd always go camping or to amusement parks. My grandfather owns a beach house in Ocean City, so that would be our really only "true" vacation.

My wife gets along with my family well and I do with hers but I couldn't imagine being stuck anywhere with one of her aunts.

I would rather cut my balls off with a rusty pocket knife, set them on fire and feed them to a sea turtle than go on a family vacation.

But that's just me.

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
