Pop quiz hot shot: Is it a trip or a vacation when you have kids?

Okay, I dated myself with the beginning quiz quote. Yes, I was a fan of the movie Speed when I was younger. And yes, I have kids, so this was a trip, not a vacation. Honestly, I am just kidding. I love going on trips with my kids. It revitalizes me and gets me out of any funk I might be living. It's a nice reset to life, and you return jazzed for the daily stuff. You don't have to go far, and you don't have to go long. Port Townsend is the trip!

Here's how we organized our mini trip to Port Townsend over spring break.
