A couple of weeks ago, I felt like every newscast had something about how very ho-hum we're not going to be able to go on vacation.
Exactly.
And it doesn't have to be a giant vacation.
It doesn't have to be a national park.
There's tons of parks.
We're going to get all into that.
Yeah.
And to your point, I was just seeing Priceline just put out a study that said for families, 89% of parents say they're going to travel this summer no matter what.
Although a quarter of them said they've had to make some changes based on some of those factors that you were just talking about.
I mean, we've been vacationing since, you know, the early 1900s and having these family vacations.
And I think people need it because they are working so hard and they're in this grind.

Yes.
Or enjoy a great, even long weekend to
Yeah, staycation to unplug, to get away.
