Vacations with the Fam

In my family, it was very important that we travel to every state in America; all our vacations were a one time deal (except for disneyland!) and that meant that we had to see everything there was possible to see in that state within a week.  It was love-hate relationship because my dad would buy this GO! Cards that had exclusive perks and allowed us access to museums, amusement parks, trolly rides, tours of historical buildings, informational bus/trolly tours of historical sights (most of these activities were heavily based on historical activities) and more.  It almost became exhausting because we would spend literally every waking moment "GO!"ing from one activity to the next with only travel time to rest, but at the end of the day, it was the best thing to look back on all we had seen, and come home and have amazing memories and pictures to share with envious friends.  I wish I would've appreciated this aspect in my family more because now, as a broke college student, I realize how much time and energy my dad spent on planning these trips, and making sure that we got the most out of them.  This page is going to be a tribute to the family vacations that shaped my goals and aspirations to continue to travel as a main focus of my life as an adult.
