"It's an unseasonably warm day here at Mashable HQ (NYC), and everyone in the city is tweeting and Facebooking about the early advent of spring (which means they're inside, rather than out, sad). Therefore, in honor of such gorgeous climes, we have chosen a fitting theme for this week's YouTube roundup: Vacation!\nYeah, it may only be February, and yeah, the city will probably plunge its curling toes back into the depths of winter in mere days, but for now, let's all ruminate on rays.\nHere's a lovely selection of vacation-themed vids to get you stoked about the (three-day, in the U.S.) weekend ahead.\n\n\nOur Favorite YouTube Videos This Week: The Vacation Edition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeekend at Bernie's\nBrian Dresher: Three words...Weekend at Bernie's\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNational Lampoons Vacation\nStefanie Rennert: What do you mean Wally World is Closed?!?! Chariots of Fire, The Griswold Family, what more can you ask for? Definitely a classic!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Righeira Vamos a la playa\"\nEmily Banks: Vamos a la playa! Warning: Only watch this if you're prepared for a blast from the past and OK with having a really catchy tune stuck in your head. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGo Gos, \"Vacation\"\nTodd Wasserman: Got to give it to the Gogos for their pioneering use of blue screen technology. I may be wrong on this, but I also believe it's the only video in history to combine tiaras and waterskiing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"I wanna get chocolate wasted.\" \nAda Ospina: Two words: Chocolate wasted! (Altough I am not a big fan of chocolate.)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Graduate\nChristina Warren: The Graduate -- one of the best music montages in film history and one of the earliest (and best!) examples of using contemporary music to power a film. Mike Nichols is the man. Simon and Garfunkel equally rule.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Beach Boys, \"Ready Steady Go!\"\nErica Swallow: Vacation makes me think of summer. Summer = Beach Boys. Always\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWham!, \"Club Tropicana\"\nLauren Rubin: In one of Wham's great early hits, Club Tropicana,  '80s Euro beach styling + George Michael's shenanigans and goings-on = Fun and sunshine, there's enough for everyone!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBaby Trashes Bar in Las Palmas\nBrenna Ehrlich: Before everyone starts asking for my resignation, this baby is obviously drinking apple juice. I just like how they parallel a child's lack of motor skills with the antics of a drunk tourist. Also, puppets!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of iStockphoto,  tacojimtacojim"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
