Sad but true: the American family vacation is disappearing. More and more employers fail to give enough time off, and many of those lucky enough to have substantial vacation time are too busy to take it.

This coming May, Sierra magazine is running a story on the vanishing American family vacation. To accompany it, we're looking for stories from Sierra Club members about the transformative effects of their own family vacations, particularly those in natural settings.

Got a good story? Please send it to Sierra Senior Editor Paul Rauber at paul.rauber@sierraclub.org by the end of February. We're especially interested in stories that could be accompanied by a great old family snapshot, so please scan it and send it along. Or photocopy the picture and mail it to Sierra, 85 Second Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105.

Even if you don't enter the contest,share your family vacation memories here!
