11 Family Vacations So Awkward It's Almost Painful To Look At The Photos

by N/A, 9 years ago | 2 min read

Some of my fondest memories of my youth are from family vacations. Few things are more relaxing than settling down on a nice beach somewhere with people you love, trying out some great seafood joints, and playing mini golf. Unfortunately, it appears not everyone gets the same pure relaxation on their family holidays. Sometimes, family vacations are just pure awkwardness.

1. The mere thought of this just makes me cringe.

What, your idea of a fun family vacation isn't seeing your mom and dad naked? What's wrong with you?

2. Nothing says family like terrible 90s hair and clothing.

"Grandma, can we go on the roller coaster?" "No, your brother's rat tail might get stuck in the wheels."

3. I dread the thought of being the parents who have to deal with this situation. Stinky clothes and no toiletries... oh, and did I mention the kids' toys are all in there? Yeah, have fun.

5. This seems familiar. Don't worry, it's only a 15-hour drive to Myrtle Beach.

4. Because nothing says "you are absolutely going to be bullied in school" like matching tie-dye.

6. I'm sure the dad and daughter got along famously on this trip.

7. One day, the product of the first time will read this and become very, very sad.

8. Matching mankinis just can't be comfortable.

I sincerely hope this was not sent to family and friends to commemorate the vacation.

10. Probably a little too intimate for comfort.

Unless your idea of fun is seeing your family members use the bathroom EVERY SINGLE TIME, then this hotel probably isn't for you.

9. One of the best parts of family vacations is reading the fun, quirky signs along the road.

You probably shouldn't be surprised that this is from a reddit user's family vacation to Florida. Because Florida is weird as shit.

11. There are just no words for the awkwardness. How could you do this, mom and dad?
