Interesting topic. For my family it really depends on the type of year we've had. The wife and I in our mid to late 20's enjoyed a beach week of doing nothing. This was before the kids. She and I were both working 60+ hours then and trying to set a solid foundation for our retirement future. Since then we've slowed down our work pace and the daily life is a little more comfortable. Now with 3 kids, we tend to be much more active around the vacation location.
