When I was growing up, my family took many memorable vacations. And when I say memorable, I really mean that they were not always pleasant. As a child, I would get horribly carsick. It was so bad that my parents kept a can of powdered carpet cleaner and towels in their car at all times, prepared for the inevitable.
It also didn’t help that I relentlessly fought with my younger sister; the close proximity shared over the course of the week in a car or hotel room driving us to behave like wild animals. Our constant bickering drove our parents nuts, and every year they’d say, “Next summer, we’re not going on vacation!”
But we always did. Until one year, when I was 10, that we didn’t. We all accepted that, while we love each other very much, extended trips as a family just didn’t work for us.
And that’s when we started to embrace the day trip.
