I want to go on vacation with you! When I was growing up, my family camped for all our vacations because that's what my parents could afford with their limited means - and even that was a struggle sometimes. I wouldn't trade anything for those simple vacations which, like yours, were also often filled with visits to historical sites. Good times, indeed.

In adulthood, we have often let animals interfere with our ability to vacation together, and in those times, I missed the excitement of sharing an adventure with family. It's well worth the effort to develop relationships with others who will mind the critters for you once in a while.
