Parents and children are consistently on the move. Parent’s working full time to maintain a household, children staying out of trouble with after school programs, sports, and various other activities, in today’s world we fill our time with so much stuff it is no wonder life can get so stressful. Many families lose sight of the importance of making memories, many parents don’t utilize all their paid days off each year and do not look for things to do when the kids are off of school. This is partially because many do not believe they can afford to take a vacation. It is important to slow down every now and then. You need to take a moment to get away and enjoy the little things. Whether you and your family take a vacation out of state or around the corner it does not matter as long as you are all together. …show more content…

Visiting family and friends can make for a very memorable vacation. Surrounded by aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents can make for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

By saving money staying with relative we have been able to include some memorable activities Disneyland, Universal studios, and even the Houston space station. What if all your family is still right around the corner and this is not an option for
Most everyone has experienced a time when they did not have to worry about financial problems, jobs, or even lives. That time for most individuals is a time of immaturity and learning. Childhood is an important part of everyone’s life. Who a person will become is the result of this period in one’s life. Although the majority had an enjoyable and carefree childhood, there are still many that do not have the chance to enjoy it. Just as a coin has two faces, Annie Dillard’s “An American Childhood” and Luis Rodriguez’s “Always Running” have shown the readers that not everyone had a fun and exciting childhood.
Growing up, in a Mexican-American home, one of the first things that my siblings and I learned from home and social gatherings was that family is crucial. At family reunions, we would catch up with cousins that we did not get a chance to see in several months sometimes years. Most of my cousins are around my age, which made family reunions even better. Now, that most of us in the extended family have graduated high school, some began to go get a higher education, and
From the parent’s perspective it may be easier to move constantly compared to a child’s but, the benefits can make for memorable experiences
Each year we go to the same place, and do the exact same things. Visit sponge docks in Tarpon Springs on thursday. Watch them build big sand castles on Tuesday. Although I love the time with my family, it can never be the same as our first trips with my Uncle Tom. Due to the law of diminishing marginal utility, I began getting less and less happiness out of each christmas vacation. My marginal utility has diminished to the point where I do not think going would make me any happier. I believe staying in town and being with my friends this year would help me to achieve the maximum utility over christmas
So, we had to approve the apartment and tell her what we wanted fixed. At
A large percentage of the people in the world get no choice in their life, such as jobs, religion, or family. Instead they get to be safe. They don't get to choose a job, or even what clothes they wear. They just live how the government tells them, with the promise of safety. They can't protect their own homes or families, instead they rely on the government.
According to the AAA more than one-third of Americans will take a family vacation this year. Deciding where to travel on vacation can take weeks of discussion. Traveling to Chicago might seem to be a fun vacation idea, but some may find crowded cities to be a regrettable event. The same could go for somewhere full of natural scenery like Niagara Falls; the sights of the natural wonder may be beautiful, but once you go beyond that, there isn't as much to occupy your time like in Chicago. I have gone to many destinations on vacation from Denver, Colorado, in the West to Washington D.C. in the East.
Going there would be a gift to my mom, I know she misses her family more than she'll ever admit. Always wanting to go back to visit her family, but money was always the issue. It sucks to be so far from your family and with such a huge difference in time zones it's just a lot for her. I think the first thing that we'll do with the money is go on a splurge, to be able to buy all the food and clothes that we'd ever desire and not worry about if we will have enough.
It’s odd how things can change so drastically over a few months, Last year everyone was happy and talkative but now there’s an obvious avoidance between family members. People who once have me big hugs and smiles now avert their eyes and miss out on our family events. Granted our family isn’t the most traditional mexican native-american(chumash) mix but we still make an honest attempt at being together for the holidays. However I can see the events that are leading up to this thanksgiving are causing this drift in the family.
Hearing of a loss can be tough. Sometimes, you immediately begin preparations to go, but at other times, you hesitate. What are the rules and should I go? Will I be out of place if I do, or will I be sorry if I don’t? Always trust your judgement.
In a small town in Pryor oklahoma there are things that i don't understand things that we can't do. For instance football players can't do a little dance when they make a touchdown. Because it hurts the other team's feelings. Why can’t they just let them make a silly dance and move on. It's just a sella prashen that they made a touchdown. Another thing is we can’t do riots in town. Let them speak their minds yes it might hurt some feelings but we should be able to have free speech but limit it so we don’t go too far with it. True hurts i know but i would rather someone to come up to me and say what they think about me instead of lying to me.
My most memorable family vacation took place two years ago. We went to Corsica, a French island situated in the south of France right next to Italy. I remembered waking up early excited to visit this new land. Used to take long flights, I was surprised to arrive to the destination after a one-hour flight. Even though the flight was short for me, it was stressful for my mom, she has never felt secured in a plane, probably due to the fact that she is afraid of height. When finally arrived at the destination, the dry and warm weather was there to welcome us. We all felt relief, and knew that this was the beginning of the summer. Excited, we had a lot of activities planned for the few weeks, me and my father could not wait to dive in the clear
Technology has changed the relationships of families. Distracted by their laptops, TV’s, smartphones, and video games, families can’t have a friendly attitude towards eachother as they used to in the past. Before the creation of these devices, families would sit together around the table and play games together. But, since the creation of video games, home entertainment has changed to games played by yourself, and the impact of these games on families is very obvious. Today, instead of watching TV together or eating supper together around a table and talking about everyone’s day, everyone is in a different room, playing video games, watching TV, texting, or listening to music. But, sometimes technology helps parents to communicate better with their children and know where they are, what they’re doing, and if they’re okay. People are so intrigued by their smartphones and laptops that they are blind to the ones that they called “friends” who are all now so distant, that human interaction is very difficult. As a result, spending less time with family and more time with all your gadgets can cause the loss of close relationships with your family.
Alone time. We all know what it is but some people see it as a negative thing when it is actually the complete opposite. Alone time can be a really good thing for your health, both physical and mental. Alone time benefits our lives and us as people in numerous ways but there can also be too much off a good thing.

Throughout someone’s life they will go to many places with their family, friends, another relatives. I have been on a few vacations that have made a lasting impact on my life. But one of the most memorable vacations I have experienced was with my cousins. I went to goa beach. Most of you probably don’t know about that beach but it is a very famous one in south India. I enjoyed myself to the fullest. The beach environment was enlightening. I would not have wanted to take this trip with anyone other than my cousins. We had a great time on the ocean sands and swimming in the ocean everyday made this vacation unforgettable.
