Introduction Some of my favorite family vacations when I was little were when my parents would scrounge up a few dollars and we would take a drive up to the Catskill Mountains to stay at a cheesy truck-stop motel for the weekend. We would have so much fun in those tacky tourist towns, filling our bellies with junky carnival food and participating in corny activities like going to a haunted house. We discovered our most treasured family moments sharing in these spontaneous silly experiences.
