Doing two wouldn't be a problem, but it looks like some teams go to every regional plus championship.
Just trying to plan stuff for down the road.
(also, I like to save some vacation time for you know, things like family)

From a work perspective - My job is a little more generous with vacation. But it also gives me a solid week of "civic time" for doing work with programs like FIRST. They've also outright paid for me to go to events in the past (time, and cost). I push it a little bit because 125 does 6 official events a season... but it mostly works. Honestly, poke around and see if they have any sort of civic programs.
As for kids getting out of school - Districts are a little different. We only take at most 1 day off school for district events (RIDE was 0 since it was sat/sun) DCMP is a traditional regional. And CMP is CMP and is a whole different story.
edit - Also vacation for family? The only time I see my brother is at CMP...
