Family Vacations

I am finishing up a family vacation--and it has been beautiful. I am reminded of when I was a boy and my family went on vacation each year. Of course, things are quite different now. For some reason, my parents often did not want to get out of the car to do things--just drive on by. "Hey son, there is the White House." "Oh cool, lets go.......lets go........oh........bye White House as I see you from a far?

Or "Look at that Grand Canyon kids." "Yes, I want to go stand on that.......oh.......gee.......by Grand Canyon as we drive away?

Don't get me wrong--we had some wonderful family vacations and great family time--I just always wanted to see more. But we certainly do now.

But really and truly--the family time is really what it is about!

Just being able to be alone with my wife and children is priceless time. If you spend money on things throughout the year but have not been able to get away on a vacation. I encourage you to buy less things so you can take a vacation with your family and build some great memories.

God is good.
