A view of our houseboat from the forest's edge during our vacation in Minnesota.

​Your nine-year-old is once again asking if he can bike alone around town, your 5-year-old is running around with chocolatey fingers, and your teenager isn’t coming when they’re called. You’re already tired from work and from having not gotten much sleep for the past eternity. Chances are, you feel like you’re about to go crazy. What you really need is a well-deserved vacation away from work and the world.
 
According to psychologist Shannon Torberg, vacations are very important for anyone to live a healthy life. In her article Importance of Vacation, she says, “Feelings of calm arise from time away from work and relieve stress, which allows the body and mind to heal in ways that it couldn't if it were still under pressure.” The best way to get away from the pressures of life and work is to take a break-- on vacation.
 
Vacations are also for families to enjoy time together. Improve your family’s relationship by taking some time to relax together. What better way to bond with your spouse and children than on a nice vacation? In fact, Tolberg says that according to a study by the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services, women who took vacations were more satisfied with their marriages.
 
In Minnesota, there are many relaxing vacationing options, especially with the scenic lakes where you can swim, fish, and get a nice tan. One way you can do all of this is by renting a Northernaire Houseboat!
