Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for our American mama's. Dear mama's,
- 0:02Speaker 1: would you rather go on a single two week vacation
- 0:06Speaker 1: or multiple three day vacations?
- 0:09Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's mama mama.
- 0:24Speaker 1: And joining is now our American mama's Terry Ediville and
- 0:27Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlason try to think back. All right, I have
- 0:34Speaker 1: gone on a two week vacation once in my life,
- 0:41Speaker 1: so that's that's one. We did do a I guess
- 0:44Speaker 1: we did a four day vacation. We did a Friday
- 0:46Speaker 1: Saturday Sunday vacation last year. What would y'all rather do
- 0:49Speaker 1: a two week vacation, you know, big trip or a
- 0:53Speaker 1: multiple three day vacation?
- 0:54Speaker 3: I think it depends on who you're with, Okay, I
- 0:56Speaker 3: think that's the fact.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because you don't like anybody coming to your
- 0:59Speaker 1: house for more than three that's true.
- 1:02Speaker 2: This.
- 1:02Speaker 4: I saw this real and it was talking about people
- 1:05Speaker 4: are ditching the week long vacations and they're going for
- 1:08Speaker 4: long weekends, and they were saying, because there's so much
- 1:11Speaker 4: more harmony, you have less opportunity to have your feelings hurt.
- 1:16Speaker 4: There's more willingness to divvy up the responsibilities for the
- 1:20Speaker 4: fun and I thought, I think they're onto something that's interesting.
- 1:24Speaker 4: We just took our families on a vacation. We'd had
- 1:26Speaker 4: a long weekend from Friday to Monday. We went to
- 1:28Speaker 4: Broken Bow. There were twenty of us and we had
- 1:31Speaker 4: an absolute blast. And I think that theory is very real.
- 1:36Speaker 4: There's no time for anybody to get their feelings hurt.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Everyone's willing to sleep where they got to sleep, to
- 1:40Speaker 4: make things, you know, doable, and it just works. But
- 1:44Speaker 4: the minute you go into a week long that's when
- 1:48Speaker 4: things start to arise, hues start to yeah.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
- 1:53Speaker 2: I think I'm starting to lean towards this now because
- 1:56Speaker 2: I was thinking, gosh, if we took our family trip
- 2:00Speaker 2: for a week, you know, to the beach, I'm all
- 2:03Speaker 2: for that because I just don't ever get tired of,
- 2:05Speaker 2: you know, going out there. But I will say, by
- 2:07Speaker 2: the fourth day, when you're leaving, everyone's like, okay, we
- 2:10Speaker 2: did everything. We utilize all the fun things we have,
- 2:13Speaker 2: the airbnb, those that wanted to go hike and win,
- 2:15Speaker 2: those that wanted to go kayaking went and the three
- 2:19Speaker 2: of us, you know, the my sisters and their.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Husbands and me.
- 2:23Speaker 2: We told the kids, we're going to take you on
- 2:25Speaker 2: this trip. Because this is a tip I can give
- 2:27Speaker 2: to anybody. If you want your children, your grown children,
- 2:29Speaker 2: to go on a trip with y'all, say we're going
- 2:31Speaker 2: to take care of it.
- 2:32Speaker 3: We'll pay for all of them.
- 2:33Speaker 2: All you have to do is show up.
- 2:34Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, that works.
- 2:36Speaker 2: That works, and so they you know, I think a
- 2:39Speaker 2: four day is perfect, especially for those who are working,
- 2:43Speaker 2: you know, because then they still have those days, you know,
- 2:45Speaker 2: they can go, like some of ours had to leave
- 2:47Speaker 2: a night early so they could get back to work,
- 2:48Speaker 2: so I don't feel like they're missing anything.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I tell you, I could go on a two week
- 2:52Speaker 1: vacation with just me and my wife and it would
- 2:55Speaker 1: be awesome. Wow, I don't even care where we go.
- 2:58Speaker 2: That's incredible.
- 3:00Speaker 1: With just me and my wife, we could we could go,
- 3:03Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. We could go someplace stinky and smelly
- 3:07Speaker 1: and it would be fine.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Just because you'll have so much.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Fun to gather.
- 3:09Speaker 1: We just hanging out together. It works fine. But there's
- 3:13Speaker 1: some some members of the family you start throwing in.
- 3:15Speaker 1: You're like, okay, well.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Set yeah, Well you know Kimberly's kids, Yeah, they go
- 3:22Speaker 2: they fly over the all over the country, all over
- 3:25Speaker 2: the world.
- 3:26Speaker 3: You know, they just take these trips.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Do they go for a week or do they go
- 3:29Speaker 2: for long weekends like they go to Switzerland.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Well, they do ten days.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Like if they go over, you know, to an other country,
- 3:35Speaker 4: they'll go for like two two days.
- 3:36Speaker 3: And then the first vacation that we ever did with
- 3:39Speaker 3: just start.
- 3:39Speaker 4: We're always extended always, but we did a vacation last
- 3:42Speaker 4: summer with just our children and their significant others. Yeah.
- 3:45Speaker 3: It's probably the most fun I've ever had in my life.
- 3:47Speaker 1: And how long was that?
- 3:48Speaker 3: That was seven days?
- 3:49Speaker 1: Wow?
- 3:49Speaker 4: It wasn't it was five It was five days, Yes,
- 3:52Speaker 4: it was five days.
- 3:53Speaker 3: And it was probably the best, the best fondation. Yeah.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Now my kids will go at it from time to time.
- 3:59Speaker 1: You know.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Of course, the girls will always gang up on Stone
- 4:01Speaker 4: because he says something that ticks them off or but
- 4:04Speaker 4: they're very quick to resolve those things, okay, you know
- 4:07Speaker 4: they fix them.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Really is everything for sure? Yeah, so those are good.
- 4:11Speaker 4: But my sisters and I we could vacation together for weeks,
- 4:15Speaker 4: but with our husbands it changes. You know, my husband
- 4:18Speaker 4: complaints about money. If there's any money spent We're gonna
- 4:22Speaker 4: have a conversation about that.
- 4:25Speaker 3: It's same.
- 4:26Speaker 2: It's like I was talking to a friend about this
- 4:28Speaker 2: the other day that it changes the This is why
