Family Vaca? What are those?

So I was on my facebook today and I just so happened to look at one of my facebook's  friends facebook album and the title was called Family Vacation. And I said out loud, man oh man do I wish I could have went on one of those when I little. My summers and the saga continues even now, to being at home. I would have loved to go different places for the summer or even to the beach. My family was just that poor. My mother was a foster child so we didn't have any family members that we could go visit for the summer. So we stayed in God awful Roanoke. I remember when I was growing up, I would cry because we were poor, and we didn't get to go on vacations and get the name brand clothes. I remember I was so excited to work, because I was able to buy my own clothes. At one point, I worked two jobs, that's when I was going through my materialist phrase. I went on my first trip outside of Roanoke when I was in 6th or 7th grade with my at the time best friend and her mother. I had never been to the beach or anything. It was fun. Growing up, I did not have much. The family that I had consisted of my mother, my older brother, and me. If I had a better paying job I would love to take my mother on a cruise or a different state. She works so hard, and some days I wonder how does she sleep. I would love to take her on a real vacation like the ones I see on people facebook album. Hopefully we will one day.
