Family Members- can't I get a vacation from my vacation?

Well, my trip is beginning to wind down.   I was told I will get a chance to see the green river on St Patrick's Day in Chicago.  That's next week.  This week I get to visit my grandpa's brother and his wife.  I'm not good with this stuff so lets just call them Dave and Sue.  Interesting folk these two are.  They happen to be my best friend Ben's parents.  They live by me in Forestville but drove all the way to Milwaukee to say hi.  It's fun seeing all these people but why can't I get away from family?
