My hubby is in the military and I am still a college student so we actually get to vacation alot (my grandma always tells me "travel when your young and while you still can"). Every three day weekend he has we try to go somewhere and that way he doesnt have to use his leave so we can save for something big. Last year we did a cruise and this year I think we are going to take a week or two and go skiing at a resort. We always take a week or two at Christmas off for family as well.
And we never take a vacation unless the dogs (and cat

) can come with us or family can watch them. We recently moved from Georgia to Colorado and Colorado is SO much more dog friendly so we plan on doing alot with the dogs this year
