I don't think you can pull off this vacation without harming your efforts. What's the goal of going on the vacation? Tradition, it was already planned, last family vacation don't count in my book.
I liked your responses above. I just don't think the vacation is in anyone's best interests right now.
I agree with Coach. On both counts.

I have the whole vacation thing all worked out in my mind. I am going to have a great week in the sun away from the snow here. I think this just might be the perfect opportunity to show my WAW just how much I have moved on.
