Summer is nearly here, and for Jessica Alba that means getting the family ready for its annual excursion.

Where the family goes is left to the actress, 33, and her husband, Cash Warren, 35.

Why Jessica Alba Doesn't Do Nudity

"I do not listen to my kids' opinions. When they pay for the vacation, they get to dictate where we go," Alba joked to People magazine about her daughters, Haven Garner, 2½, and Honor Marie, nearly 6. "Until then, Mom and Dad are in charge. It would be Disneyland every day - that would be the worst vacation ever!"

Instead, the family of four will pack their bags for their traditional retreat: Warren's mother's house in the south of France.

The Thing Jessica Alba's Husband Does that Annoys Her

"There's so much lavender and greenery, she has a couple acres out there so the kids run around and it's really nice living that country lifestyle for a little bit," Alba told the magazine.

The respite is much needed. The actress has been busy juggling raising her girls with running her business, The Honest Company, which recently signed a partnership with Target to carry its full line of eco-friendly products starting in June.
