The first vacation I can recall with Connie and our girls came as a result of a church member giving us a free pass to a timeshare cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This family had purchased a week’s lodging but was moving back to Alaska and gave the trip to us. At the time, our girls were very young, and we enjoyed a great time together. Like most young families, our finances were tight, and we would not have been able to afford a vacation without this gift.
Since that time, following the advice of an older and wiser pastor, Connie and I have saved money each month in order to take our family on a summer trip. We do not take luxury getaways, but instead look for a place where we can rent an Airbnb, enjoy hiking or other outdoor activity and a few meals out.
