I think there is are two broad categories of vacations that people take. The first kind is for personal pleasure and relaxation. The second is to visit relatives. That's not to say it can't be relaxing and pleasurable but the focus of the second type of vacation is to connect with your relations and build a sense of family community.
The only family we have in the Tri City area is Mom's family - Aunt Nettie-Merle. That said it doesn't mean we only see her. She had 10 children, many who still live in the area. We asked her how many grandchildren and great grandchildren she had. She couldn't remember but Cindy who keeps count told us that Aunt Nettie-Merle around 38 now and counting.
Here's Cindy with one of Aunt Nettie-Merle's great-grandchild Wyatt. Wyatt is 2 months old and weighs 14 lbs. He one big boy - but very mellow.
We showed them the bus yesterday. Lee was in his lecture mode.
One of Lee's cousin, Kathleen graduated with a biology degree and has worked at an animal hospital here in Saginaw for thirty years. She gives another meaning to bringing your work home. This little kitty is 1 week old, it doesn't even have its eyes open yet. She has to feed it every 2 hours. So you thought you had it hard, eh Becky?
This little cutie is 4 weeks old. Anyone in the market for a cat?

Ha! Dad does look like he's in his lecturing mode...He must have been telling the saga of the bus! I'm glad I don't see that pose very often anymore...
I can't imagine trying to breastfeed a 2 week old kitten...oh, that's not what you meant?
That child looks HUGE! 2 months younger than Jubilee?!?
"relaxing" and family don't generally go in the same category. I think you're ok stating that mom.
Since Debbie hasn't said it yet-- "AWWW! Cute kitty-witty. I want a kitty!"
There. Now it's like she was right here with us.
Just so you all know, I cant have a kitty. Much to my displeasure.
