Family vacations are good

Dear Editor,

Family vacations are good in various ways. They allow a family to get a closer bond between one another. They also give you a break from everyday life.

We sometimes don't see all the qualities of our families. We get caught up with the hustle and bustle of each day.

It's a good way to enjoy yourself and your family. We, as Americans, are always so busy with sporting events, meetings and work that we do not have the time to tell our spouses and kids "I love you" everyday.

We really need to spend time and raise our kids well. They are the future. Whether long, short, near or far away, a family vacation is always a good experience!
