Don't get me wrong. I love vacationing with my kids. The older they get, the easier it gets. But it can also be totally exhausting and by the end start to feel a little less... vacation-y.
What is it they say about the journey being more important than the destination? Whoever wrote that never travelled in a minivan full of kids for more than an hour.
Being a mom in a passenger seat often means you are equal parts navigator, food-distributor, thrown-toy-finder, contortionist (when the DVD remote goes missing), activity director, puke mopper-upper...it's a glamourous role.
