"And you came back again

"I feel so inspired

"Kissing your lips of fire

"Little boy sweet, little boy sweet

"Sweet little boy of mine

"Come a little closer

"I want to show you

"What's on my mind

"Here in the night, here in the night

"Here in the night, together

"I want to show you

"Love so... warm and tender!"

Mom, my sandwich is wet!

They're all wet...

The dog went on the picnic basket!

"Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

"Going to take a ride

to the West Coast, kids

"Holiday Road!

"Holiday Road!

"Holiday Road!

"Holiday Road! "

Russ, look!

Excellent! They have a pool!

Aren't the woods beautiful?

Clark! Dinky needs

a long walk and a bath.

Rusty, take care of Dinky.

Dad, he bites!

Bite him back!

We would like three tents, please.

All right. That'll be $37.

$37 for three tents?!

They're very nice tents.

The price includes

scenery and wildlife fun.

This seems like a nice place,

and it has a pool.

All right.

Would you fill that out?

Clark W. Griswold.

Do you want my address?

Please.

What do you need my address for?

We like to send out mailers.

- I can't wait to get in!

- Me, too.

Let's go get our bathing suits.

Disgusting!

You're too cheap to pay

for a hotel room.

Oh, Clark, this tent smells.

Edna, this is your tent.

This isn't very romantic.

I don't think there's enough room

for two in this sleeping bag.

Right now, we're one.

One heart beating for two.

Sparky, there's a wild animal.

Yes.

I know, I'm going for it, honey.

Get off!

Down! Go!

I'm sorry, honey. It's Dinky.

I'll kill that dog!

What do you say, honey?

In spite of the problems,

it's fun isn't it?

No!

But with each new day there's new hope.

Kids, let's go!

We're losing daylight.

Did you walk him?

He took a big one

on Aunt Edna's blanket.

Good boy.

Help!

Go take care of Aunt Edna.

I'll take the leash.

Roll over, Dinky!

You're tearing my flesh!

Good morning, Edna.

Audrey, you're next.

No way, Jos!

What's the problem?

I had to sit next to Aunt Edna

last time. She smells like mothballs!

It's her turn.

For your information, Rusty slept

in his underpants last night!

Easy kids! Stop it!

Everyone into the car,

we leave in two minutes.

Or perhaps you don't want to see the

second-largest ball of twine on earth.

Which is only four short hours away.

Sweetheart, do you hear that rattle?

Where is it coming from?

Beats the heck out of me.

I've been looking for it since we left.

It's driving me crazy!

Dad, look behind you.

Now what have we done?

Will you hold my purse?

Just hold my purse!

Hello, officer, what's the problem?

Get out of the car!

I don't think I was speeding.

Was I weaving or something?
