I am going to Elk Lake. My son's parents co-own a set of cotteges up there and for the past 12 years my family and my extended family (it averages about 20 a year) vacation with my son's family. The first few years were nerve racking for me... It was like vacationing with your family and the in-laws, but now it feels like we are one big happy family. In fact, last year I ended up not going. I had started a new job. This year I can hardly wait. I have not had a vacation in over a year.
