Today, my mom had the option of choosing anywhere in the world where we could go on vacation. We live in the USA and she chose to fly to Texas, rent an RV, and drive to Florida. Anywhere in the world. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I can’t afford a “real” vacation, I’m trying to get my car converted for camping in time for what promises to be perfect weather next week. Meanwhile, my mom booked a trip to Switzerland. For next week. Guess who gets to stay home and feed the animals? FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML
Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML
Today, my parents said we can't go to our grandma's funeral because it's going to be held in Hawaii in accordance with her wishes and we can't afford to travel. FML
Today, while living in Florida, I had a conversation with my mother explaining that it might be best for me to come back home. Her response, "Don't worry, they have plenty of homeless shelters down there if you need a place to stay." Thanks Mom. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I went on vacation. We flew 2000 miles, got off the plane, got our bags and stood outside the airport for our ride. She looks at me and says, "I can't do this anymore." So, she broke up with me and flew back home. Now I'm on vacation alone. FML
Today, I came home after spending the past two months at summer camp, just for my parents to excitedly announce that I'm going to be spending the next two weeks in Florida with my grandma. We have to leave in literally a couple hours. FML
Today, my mother informed me that we are no longer taking my graduation trip to New York. Instead, she and her group of continuously drunk friends are going to Vegas because, "We could win the jackpot and take you on an even bigger trip to New York!" She's never won anything in her whole life. FML

From what I understand, Texans believe they ARE the world, so maybe she felt she had no other choice.

She wants to get BarBQ brisket and then go meet Pitbull. Sounds just about perfect to me ;)

If you want barbecue you go to Kansas City, not Texas.

#32, maybe for hickory-smoked pork ribs, but if you want mesquite-smoked beef brisket . . . Texas is the place I dearly love to be.

I think KC BBQ uses too much vinegar. I like the sweet savory of a good Austin pork butt myself I'm so hungry now...

Wow, honestly that sucks. you should tell her to go out of the country, I live in the u.s too it's a beautiful place but I'm sure there are other wonderful countries to see.

I've done the opposite. I've driven from FL to TX and that long ass drive is hell! National Lampoon's Vacation had nothing compared to that road trip! :P

My dad does the same thing, but we go from Indiana to Montana. He likes the "anas" I guess... lol, but really, it's nice to just spend time with my dad for a few weeks. Up in the mountains, away from people, and shit.

Do a round roadtrip in Europe, you'll learn new things and meet a different culture.

Some people simply don't want to visit foreign countries.
