Amen to that! She's a hot mess. She makes very questionable decisions, and uses her column space to try to justify them. I've been very disenchanted with her over the last couple of years.

As for the original question, I think both are important. I don't think any kid will shrivel up and die without an annual vacation, but traveling together could make some very precious and powerful memories. I don't think it would be too much of a tragedy if some discretionary income was saved for vacations instead of college.
