Are you still taking a vacation this year? The economy has caused many people to rethink their family vacations this year. The added stress the economy causes is exactly why we all need a vacation still. Save Our Summer Vacation has a cute petition and a contest to win a $10,000 getaway.

Life gets stressful and we all need to take time for ourselves to relax. Time to put all of the stress behind us and forget about everything but having fun. Even if you need to cut way back on your usual family vacation you still need to try to find a time to just have fun and get away.

Save Our Summer Vacation is a cute petition to Congress. It asks Congress to proclaim August 7 as "National Vacation Day". I like that idea. August is the only month without a holiday so you do not get any days off of work. I say if banks and businesses can get bail outs we deserve a holiday in August!

So what about the contest for a giveaway? HomeAway Vacation Rentals is not only organizing the Save Our Summer Vacation petition. It is also having a contest on it's blog. The winner gets a $10,000 getaway to the vacation rental of their choice and two runners-up will each receive a $5,000 trip.

I would have a heck of a time deciding with vacation home to pick if I were to win. On one hand I really miss Tucson. I could go back and visit family and friends. I would also love going to Hawaii so I could relax on a beach.

No matter where the location the price is still awesome. We have never stayed at a vacation rental before but it sounds great. All the fun of a vacation and all of the comforts of home.

It would be more relaxing and comfortable than a hotel. It would definitely be more comfortable and private than staying in a relatives house.
