National Lampoon’s Vacation 30th Anniversary & DVD Giveaway

National Lampoons Vacation
Sometimes a family vacation can feel exactly like the movie National Lampoon’s Vacation. It’s hard to believe that it has been 30 years since this hilarious film was released on the big screen. I still refer to this movie when I’m talking about travel.

If you haven’t ever watched National Lampoon’s Vacation here’s a little synopsis:

Chevy Chase mans the wheel and convinces his all-American family that the way to really enjoy their holiday is to hit the road west for Wally World. Much hilarity and family mishaps follow the family on their road trip.

If you are a road tripper like me you will find a lot of comedy in this film. I highly recommend popping some popcorn, gather the teens and having a fun family movie night. (Heads Up: There is cussing in the film and F bombs are dropped.)

Here are some of my favorite clips from this movie. Oh my goodness so many good memories come to mind.

Clark: “I’m going to check under the hood.”

Laughing so hard. Seriously? You’re going to check under the hood. Dude, you have bigger problems than that.

Go ahead and scroll ahead to 1:50.

Oh man, I have been on some road trips where I have been so close to losing my mind at the family. I think we have all had one of these moments.

Clark: “…I’m going to have fun and you’re going to have fun, we are all going to have so much *#&#^ fun we’ll need plastic surgery to remove our *$)%&Q smiles.”

You gotta love a good Hollywood classic. You can win your own copy by using the rafflecopter form below. Giveaway ends June 10.
