3 Tips For Vacationing With Your Parents

So I just got back from three very long days of vacationing with my folks.

I mean, VERY long.

Here’s the thing: it totally sucked. I mean, I love spending time with my parents. I do. We get along very well. But three days of touristing in some random little rural town without any break from my parents EVER just isn’t my idea of a good time.

So here are a few tips that I wish I knew before I went. Good luck, you poor brave souls.

(1) Insist on having at least a little say in the location.

Okay, we went to this town in upstate NY (5 hours from their house, 3 from my apartment) for seemingly no reason. When I was informed, I did not question. Foolishly, I said instead, “Whatever you guys want.” Fatal mistake. You see, my mother decided that we just HAD to go see this giant kaleidoscope. Yes, that’s right: apparently, the basis of this trip was a giant kaleidoscope.

Anyway, we finally get to the stupid thing and they take one look at it and my dad says, “I’m not paying 10 bucks a person for this!”, my mom says, “I can’t lean on this thing for 7 minutes!”, and next thing I know we’re back at the motel trying to figure out what to do for the next three days.

Jessica Alba has a baby girl

Jessica Alba, 26, and her new husband Cash Warren, 28, had their first child this weekend, a daughter that was born at Cedars Sinai hospital, according to US Weekly. Jessica’s rep would not comment on the supposed arrival, although an earlier report from a tipster to Celebrity Baby Blog had Jessica entering the same hospital in labor on Friday with Cash, carrying birthing balls. (Which are just those big exercise balls and are supposed to help get you into position to open the pelvis for an upright birth and may ease labor pains.)

US reports that Jessica’s father was seen in the maternity ward and was overheard saying “she’s beautiful,” while Cash was spotted bringing in food on Saturday.

If this is true, congratulations to Alba and Warren! I bet we’ll learn the name of the little one soon, and Alba is the type to sit for a magazine spread, so in a month or two there may be lovely photos. She seems like she’ll be a great mom.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are shown at his surprise birthday party on 3/22/08, thanks to WENN.
