What was your worst vacation ever and why?

No bad vacations, but plenty of bad moments (although nothing like the nuclear option in #21 (which also stopped me in my tracks this afternoon).

That time we camped next to the stream and heavy rains not only flooded it but made it next to impossible to get the car up the hill (this was after another car issue on the same trip).

That time on the ten hour car trip it finally occurred to two PhD’s that you could offer the cranky baby a pacifier when he wasn’t in bed.

That time our 4-year-old tried popcorn for the first time, overindulged, and then we left on a five hour car trip with her in the middle seat.
