I took my oldest out for more than a week for my brother's wedding when he was in first grade. We didn't ever have a "once in a lifetime" type thing come up again. We planned regular vacations when school was out of session.
Personally, I wouldn't take kids out of school to avoid crowds. However, I would take them out if was truly our only chance to take that trip due to family schedules, etc. I'm sure the fact the I went back to work as a teacher played into that as well.
