I take every day I have coming too. My personal days have to be used within a year, so I make sure to use them first for appointments, etc. before dipping into vacation time. Vacation and sick time roll over. I get about 2.5-3 weeks off each year. At least one week of that is spent camping in the summer, with an occasional shorter trip thrown in during the year. We probably won't do any longer trips until the kids get bigger. Sometimes I just take a day off here and there to get things done around the house, or when my mom can't watch the kids and DH is already scheduled to work.
I used up every last bit of my personal, vacation, and sick leave during my maternity leave. If I am still working there when we have more kids, I'll do the same. Might as well get paid as much as I can while I'm out.
