We Are Family

About five years ago, I thought wouldn't it be a wonderful experience for my children, their spouses, my grandchildren, and myself to make family memories that would/could be passed down through the generations. Hence the last Saturday in July is the start of our week long Sanderson Family Vacation. What was I thinking?!

Several days before we depart for Door County Wisconsin, specifically Egg Harbor we began packing. We stay in a three bedroom townhouse that sleeps twelve, kids get the honor of sleeping on the two sofa sleepers. Two full bathrooms, a half bathroom, kitchen area, dining room, living room, loft area, garage, and a deck. The complex has an indoor and outdoor pool, tennis court, playground, and hiking trails. My daughters and their friends and family will go up at different times during the year, but this is when we vacation as a family.

My son is not a lover of Door County, so I bring his son up with me so he can enjoy spending time with the family.

Spending seven days with family can and does have moments of frustration, but the frustration is resolved quickly and peace is restored until the next frustration.

I love every moment good, bad and ugly of our family vacations, just look at these photos...

I had seven days that filled my heart with such joy and happiness. Do you do extended family vacation? Do you go to the same place every year? Where is your favorite spot to vacation? I would love to hear about your vacation adventures.
