I suppose family CAN be way overrated, but many of us think family is underrated, if anything. I am happier around my kids, grandkids, and extended family than anyone else in the world. That is not to say that getting away to TV is not enjoyable - it certainly is, and we come with our good friends of 45+years, so bring some of that with us. I moved around frequently in my career, and was happy everywhere we lived, but always cherished any time that I spent with my family. Happiness is not a geographical location.
