I don't think anything you said would have made a difference. In a lot of jobs, you can only take a vacation during the slow season. A university is seasonal in a sense, and it's all hands on deck during the school year. Could your family and friends meet in Florida a little later, during Thanksgiving break or winter break?
I didn't take it as honest though, because she had said one thing and then said another thing. Which I had said she told me we will need to speak to the team and then comes back upset saying "If you are talking to someone who is spending the money I want you to stop. Stop asking others who are spending the money."

I'm wanting to figure out a time to take vacation off when my whole family can go (including me). She seems to get upset when I ask and would talk over me.

So I am planning on asking another manager who I feel will be calmer and who will listen.
