Did You Know…National Lampoon’s Vacation Turns 25 [Southern Byways]

Translate Into:

openroad What just may be the best travel comedy movie ever made is turning 25 this year. Everyone’s remembers, and perhaps even can commiserate with, the Griswalds’ plight to Wally World in National Lampoon’s Vacation.

So, before you hit the road this summer, watch the movie for some good laughs (even after 25 years) and hope what they go through doesn’t happen to you.
