Being the youngest of 6 kids I have experienced a lot of family vacations. Some of them good, some of them not so good, but all of them full of memories to last a lifetime. This was just part of growing up Cross.
Now, here I am 32 years old, with three boys and providing them with the good, the bad and the ugly of family vacations.
You get 5 sisters, 1 brother, 13 cousins, 5 spouses, nana and boppa together and there is bound to be drama! It doesn't matter that we are all grown with kids of our own... We are still family, and sometimes families just don't get along. Well, in the Cross family maybe it's more than sometimes. I'm not sure I can remember the last family vacation to be drama free... Oh, that's right, there's never been one!
On the flip side, the boys are having fun and behaving despite the crazy schedule we have held these last few
weeks. They are the calm in this storm and I am so thankful for that. Luckily, they are oblivious to the palpable tension.
One more day and we can put closure on Cross family vacation 2012 and hope that 2013 brings a calmer and less hair raising get-together... If its even possible.
