Get ready for a wacky family vacation when you’re with the Griswolds. For Clark, vacation time is the time to show how good he is at being a father and being a man. In fact, he gets too carried away sometimes with his desire to show how much he loves his family.
Ellen, on the other hand, is a patient and kind woman which perfectly complements Clark’s more temperamental personality. She loves planning their vacations (although they get messed up by Clark’s shenanigans), and loves having fun.
