Spring break sounds relaxing until you try to make everyone in the family happy at the same time.

In this honest and funny episode, Rebecca Greene and Seth Greene share the reality of their whirlwind New York City spring break filled with college tours, shopping, Broadway, family negotiations, and a whole lot of walking. From Times Square chaos to Chinatown bargains, from the excitement of Chicago to the exhaustion of trying to please everyone, this trip came with plenty of memorable moments and real-life lessons.

The big takeaway? You cannot make everyone happy every second of the trip, but you can take turns. Rebecca and Seth talk about balancing the needs of each family member, letting everyone choose something special, and accepting that a good family vacation does not have to be perfect to be meaningful.

If you have ever come home from a trip needing a vacation from your vacation, this episode will feel very familiar.
