But I always take more than I could ever realistically read. I think my vacation record is 14 books during a two week vacation.

I used to spend so much of the trip tending to the kids and it feels selfish to not be helping out in any way now.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-1482357388028746452012-04-17T12:42:54.494-06:002012-04-17T12:42:54.494-06:00I always take a TON of books on vacation, but don&...I always take a TON of books on vacation, but don't get to all of them. It always depends on where we go too. If it's a big city, I want to explore it and get out and about. If it's a beach hosue or little cabin I usually have more down time to read.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-83918120723055193512012-04-16T23:41:10.073-06:002012-04-16T23:41:10.073-06:00I have to feel "settled" in order to get...I have to feel "settled" in order to get into a book, so it's hard for me to read on vacation.

I almost always read in the car (when I'm not handing out snacks or trying to break up the sibling bickering!) and if we're going somewhere to just relax for a few days, I make sure to bring several books along!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266693294304210442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-32105664317154463402012-04-16T18:21:01.697-06:002012-04-16T18:21:01.697-06:00Jenny: A beach house in Oregon?

For example, when I went to D.C I brought a book to read on the plane and even went to a bookstore and bought a few books but I didn't read ON the vacation, it was just too busy. When I went to Oregon and spent a week in a beach house I read plenty. Because that's exactly what I went to do. <br /><br />So, yeah, it just depends on the type of vacation I want. It sounds like you guys had fun so I wouldn't worry about whether you got any reading done. ;)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-55447093397621916232012-04-16T13:04:31.845-06:002012-04-16T13:04:31.845-06:00I do not go on too many vacations but when I do I ...I do not go on too many vacations but when I do I usually only bring one book. If I were to complete one book then all is good. Oh...maybe I bring two just in case.

But, because I wasn't doing any sight seeing for the most part, I could easily read.<br /><br />When I'm on vacation for real, I don't read hardly at all. Too much going on. Plus, I want to have fun doing other things, like swimming, shopping, amusement parks, etc. I think I'd actually have to plan a reading vacation to read.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-85473013760500467902012-04-16T10:36:37.175-06:002012-04-16T10:36:37.175-06:00I always feel guilty for reading in the car.
