Spring is here and the peak vacation season is just around the corner. Some people may have vacation planning on the mind. We do! In fact, with a husband who works in the travel industry, getting geared up for vacations is one of the big highlights we look forward to. If you could create a memory for your family, I would highly suggest planning a vacation.
Vacations can be as simple or as elaborate as time and money allow. In my experience, great memories can be made whether it be a long weekend camping experience, the cross country road trip, or the overseas trip of a lifetime.
Vacations can also be very intentional. They mark milestones in our lives. A honeymoon is the crowning to the wedding for a newly married couple. We have planned trips for our children as rites of passage, marking special times in their lives. Vacations bring distant relations closer together for the purpose of keeping in touch with loved ones. They offer a time out for a couple to have time alone away from the children to focus on their own very special relationship. A vacation can also be a retreat for one member of the family to find some personal time to become spiritually and physically refreshed.
Over this next week, I hope to jot down a few of my own personal vacation experiences- not only what was great and memorable, but also what could have been better but still was memorable! I hope our journeys will encourage you!
