Our family trips were always terrible. Parents arguing, siblings arguing…we finally learned we shouldn’t go on trips together.

I would love too

but my wife’s husband spends entirely too much time at work.

between you and me I think that he is a work-a-holic and needs to get a grip on what is really important in the world.

I love taking trips. Usually our big vacation for the year revolves around a family members wedding. I have over 20 first cousins on my dads side and I am the third oldest so it seems like every year we have at least one or two weddings to go to!

We usually try to take a week before the wedding to do fun things on the road on the way there or visit some fun places that are nearby. This summer it will be Minnesota. So we are going to travel through South Dakota and visit Mount Rushmore, Bear Country and the town where Laura Ingle Wilder grew up.

Favorite weekend getaway is Camping or Denver. It is the closest big city to us about 5 hours away. We like to take a weekend and hit up the zoo, malls and Childrens Museum.

Day trips? Well there isn’t much around where we live, so I would have to say out to the ranch where my parents live. We all enjoy being outdoors, BBQing and riding horses.

We do go on family trips a bit more than average. The husband works for a hotel chain, so we take full advantage of his employee discount.

San Diego is one of my favorite places to go, and its only a few hour drive from our house.

Sometimes we go north and see the snow. Sometimes we go to Vegas (though not my favorite place in the world, especially with the kids). Other times, we just book a room or two at a local resort and just take advantage of the pool and room service.

On the average weekend, my husband is home on Sundays, so we spend that day on day-trips. Lately we’ve been picking just a local park or museum, packing a lunch, and heading out for the day. Our kids are still too young for the family to really have fun at an amusement park (all being under 7, and short of patience). I don’t do boats, because I puke, so they’re out.

Most summers we head to the East Coast, the New England area for a week or so on the beach. The kids stay behind for a few more weeks to visit their grandparents when we have to come back home for work.

Vacation spot would have to be Paradise, MI. But Lake Superior is always too cold to go swimming.

Weekend get aways we go boating a lot and hope to go camping some this summer

Day trips would be boating, going to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, we use to go to the zoo til they closed it and go to the park down by the beach

We are planning on taking the kids to sesame place in PA this summer

Answer by cricketlady
Yes we do. I remember taking the little foster kids all over the US and how they enjoyed meeting other people. Now our family vacation spot is a KOA somewhere. We especially love Mexico and Kentucky. Nags Head was a favorite of our kids and the mountains were also. They enjoyed camping with us also ans we spent several days a yr at state parks and close to the water. For a day trip we loved to take a picnic and go to the park and walk trails and spend the night in a cabin or our rv.

Our family is obsessed with family vacations and trips…we try to do one big vacation a year and tons of mini trips..like we go camping a few times during the summer, boating, fishing, climbing, blasck water falls, zoo’s, aquriums, amusement parks..fun things like that..we are an active family and i want to take my children to do as many fun things as possible..I would rather use our money on fun family outing than on tons of material things..
