April issue, Budget Travel magazine - Ken and Cathy Robertson of Springdale, Ark., take at least one major vacation per year with their triplet sons, Brock, Connor, and Quinn. They’ve been on cruises and to big cities, but the majority of their adventures have involved the great outdoors—the Everglades, a Colorado guest ranch, and Yellowstone, to name a few. “When the boys got old enough, I put together several options and we voted on where to go,” says Ken. “It’s become a tradition. Every year when we return from a vacation, I have a list of possibilities for future trips ready.” Once a consensus is reached, Ken starts compiling information on flights, hotels, and sights in a spreadsheet. The boys usually help out with the planning, poking through guidebooks and brochures and weighing in.
