Ghanaian families are basically very terrible when it comes to taking a break from home.
Whether it's because we just don't have enough paid time off to plan a real vacation or because we think the world will end if we step away from our desks for more than a day, either way, we're majorly missing out on much-needed time to relax and regroup.

Sometimes not taking a vacation does more harm than good, because too many in the house can leave the family with limited memories.
Pulse.com.gh brings to you five reasons families should take vacations.
1. Create fond memories
Taking your family for vacations could create unforgettable memories you all could all smile too. Years from now you could open up an album or watch a video of your vacation and relive the wonderful memories once again. These memories are cherished and remembered for as long as you live.
2. Spend quality time

You have the weekend, but the weekend may not be enough to catch up on things happening in your lives. Vacations will bring the family together and reinforce the fact that quality time is very important.
3. Good relaxation moments
