Family vacations hit different when you’re a kid. Looking back, they bring fond memories, often accompanied by nostalgia and a touch of mild trauma. You were either dealing with a 6 a.m. flight where your dad insisted on getting to the airport four hours early, or stuck on a 14-hour road trip because your parents wanted to save money on plane tickets (as if your family’s collective sanity isn’t factored into the budget). Your sister was packed like she was moving to a new country, and your brother complained about being bored every 12 minutes. And the car was either freezing because Dad loved having the A/C on max or boiling because Mom didn’t want to «waste gas.» But there was one silver lining…the food. Gas station snacks, airplane meals, and local diners were the cure-all for a sibling meltdown. There’s nothing a bag of cheddar Chex Mix and a Slurpee can’t fix (still true today). So, these 25 memes are dedicated to family vacations. Traumatizing and exhausting, but at least well-fed.
