Why Family Vacations Are The Best Vacations
Maddie Gibson

Vacations are amazing all on their own. However, if you have a family that is anything like mine, vacations are so much more enjoyable when you’re with them. Many families live apart in different cities, even different states sometimes, due to jobs and having a life on their own. So, when winter break or summer comes around, taking a family vacation is a great way to catch up and spend time with each other.

Quality time is important to a lot of families, and taking a vacation with your family allows for quality time to be spent. What better way to catch up and spend time with your family than being on the beach or wherever your family’s go-to is? Families are hardly ever all in one place or not on the go. Vacation allows for everyone to be in one place and all together enjoying each other’s company.

Every day life usually consists of being busy and not having much time to relax. Vacation with your family is the perfect time to sit back and really slow down and enjoy time with one another. It’s the perfect time to put work, school, and worries aside and just enjoy a nice break. Time flies by so quickly, it is important to slow down and enjoy life with your family every once in awhile.

One of the best things about vacations are the memories. Since vacation means having fun, memories and laughs are bound to be created and shared. Everyone’s happy because they’re in a happy place with their family. My family always comes back from vacation with a story to retell forever.

Whether your idea of a family vacation means staying in a resort, camping, going skiing, or just hanging out at home, spending time with your family is something you’ll value one day when it becomes harder to do so. Family vacations are the best because you get to spend more time with your family than usual, have time to relax and take a breath, and make memories while doing so.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
