Looking for an inexpensive vacation?? Want to just get away from it all?? Tired of being treated like cattle at traditional airports? Then it’s time to take a mini vacation! Here’s how… in just 10 easy steps!
Step 1: Pack your bags!! — This is crucial to that feeling of leaving it all behind, and it’s fun to pack all the “essentials”.
Don’t forget your sunglasses!!
Step 2: Hop on a Flight! — Real airports are soooo over-rated. What you really want is quality service right in your own living room. Look at all that legroom! Umm… nevermind the sleeping pilot.
Step 3: Play Travel Games! — Fun, fun, fun!
Step 4: Soak Up Some Sun! — Ah yes, the warmth of a sunny day at the beach… Can you feel your stress just melting away??
Step 5: Go for a Swing in the Hammock! — Or just take a nap… whichever you prefer.
Step 6: Mail Out Postcards! — Show friends and family that you’re thinking of them during your far away travels.
Step 7: Take a Dip in the Ocean! — You did pack your swim suit, didn’t you? If not, go back and repeat step 1.
Step 8: Treat Yourself to Some Candy! — I’m pretty sure Clara thinks this is what vacation is all about.
Step 9: Go See a Movie — Head over to the nearest second-run theater and see whatever is playing. Be spontaneous! Popcorn is a must!
Step 10: Take the Train Home — Now that you’re feeling relaxed and refreshed, it’s time to head home.
Buh-bye!!!

Very fun! We were suppose to be in the car right now on the way for a mini vacation and Sammy puked about 2 hours ago.. so we might have to pretend to be on vacation later

So awesome. We’re totally going on a family vacation this weekend when Daddy’s home!

Best way to travel, by train. We need some good box trains here.
