Our family doesn’t usually take summer vacation trips because my girls and I take an annual road trip from our current home in the South to my childhood home in Southern California. Spending our summers in SoCal is “vacation” enough for me. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to make our annual trek this year because my girls both have jobs now and my elderly dog is ill.
