My favorite thing to do in the world is to travel, I love exploring new places and learning about new cultures and how others live. I find vacations to be great way to add some excitement to educating children about a new place, or a new culture what better way to learn then full immersion. But its also nice to get "couple time" and go away without the kids and focus on being together.
