From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. People often take a vacation during specific holiday observances, or for specific festivals or celebrations. Vacation or holidays are often used spent with friends or family. A person may take a longer break from work, such as a sabbatical, gap year, or career break. HolidayHoliday is a contraction of holy and day. Holiday originally refered only to special religious days. In modern use, it means any special day of rest, as opposed to normal days off work or school. VacationIn the United Kingdom, vacation once specifically referred to the long summer break taken by the law courts and, later, universities—a custom introduced by William the Conqueror from Normandy where it facilitated the grape harvest. The French term is similar to American English: "Les Vacances". In the past, many upper-class families moved to a summer home for part of the year, leaving their usual family home vacant.

Q. I am trying to plan our vacation for next summer, and cant think of any place good. We are tired of beaches, and amusement parks. What else is there? Asked by Kuiper - Mon Oct 23 13:34:57 2006 - - 20 Answers - 0 Comments A. Have you been to any of the national parks...Yellowstone, Yosemite, etc.? Take a camping trip in Wyoming (you can rent a cabin, take a fishing trip, visit Yellowstone, etc.) or in North Dakota. Are your kids boys? They might like visiting the Football Hall of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and then catching a Cleveland Indians game. And since you'll be on Lake Erie, you can either go fishing out on Put-in-Bay or (even tho you're tired of amusement parks) you could stop at Cedar Point, home some of the best rollercoasters in the country). Or if they prefer baseball, there's the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, followed by a drive to NYC to catch a Mets and/or Yankees game.
