family vacation

Household travel together

A family vacation is a trip taken by a household together, typically during school breaks.

The phrase evokes road trips, theme parks, and the particular dynamic of parents and children in close quarters for extended periods: We're going to the beach for our family vacation.

The experience is often remembered fondly in retrospect despite tensions in the moment.
