Back in 1999 , my mom , my sister , my sister - in - law , and I started a summer tradition ~ we go away for a weekend near my mom's birthday . We missed one year completely , and last year we ended up going in September instead , but usually the time works out for everyone ~ and since today is my mom's birthday ~ this is the weekend we are going ! Although I am not someone who likes to be away from my family , I do treasure these times and memories so much ! We always have a fun and relaxing time ! 
Question: Why does the writer regularly go away with their family ?
Because it's an enjoyable thing to do .
