1. The ability to eat literally anything
Parents buy junk food for vacation because it's vacation what else are you supposed to eat? Kale? No, pizza you need to eat all the pizza. Or how about continental breakfast.

2. New inside jokes created each time you take a different trip
One time my sister, her 2 kids and I were traveling through Pennsylvania and there was a sign that said keep off the brake retard. So brake retard is our thing. Or Cracker Barrell. It's just funny when you say it fast.Or when your family refers to you in a goat voice.

3. The excuse to mess up your sleep schedule
You can go to bed at 3 in the morning and wake up at 5 go back to sleep for 5 hours. Why? Because it's vacation

4. Wearing the same clothes for 48 hours because you've been driving for so long nobody can actually judge you because you are from New York and 12.

You can sleep in the same Aero sweatpants fro 3 days straight and nobody at the weird truck stop in Ohio will care because its 3 am and you are 12. But you know you look crazy because your hair is a little bit out of place.

5. The music you listen to
Goofy goober makes my car lit along with who let the dogs out or even some 1d tunes ✌🏻️ The best part is usually none of you like the same music but you still do finger-pointing dance moves because it's fun to be with them.

6. Doing what you do at home except somewhere usually more than 8 hours from home

I usually sit and jam to panic at the disco, so over spring break I sat and jammed to panic. Or face swapping with your best friend at their house , then face swapping with them in myrtle beach at their hotel. Loving beaches in NY and loving them in FL.

7. Spending time with people who are always loving you even at your grumpiest.

When your stomach hurts and you are annoying they buy you food. You ride 32 hours together but when you get home you just need to relax with EACH OTHER, because there is nobody else in the world you would spend so many days with.
