We are about to go on the annual family trip to the East Coast. I didn't say vacation. You just can't call traveling with kids a vacation. Vacations are supposed to be relaxing and restful.
Family trips can be a lot of fun, but they're also a lot of work.
I remember last year when our beach plans were rained out. We had to come up with an alternative activity. My sister and I decided we would take the kids to a museum. I'm sure you can imagine the reaction we got from four kids who would rather body surf in shark-infested waters than go to a museum. Besides, it's not really a museum.
