no, thats a literal translation. the correct translation for the verb "to take" in that sentence is not "tomar" it would be "llevar" like this: "mi padre nos llevará de vacaciones a España" the english verb "to take" means both to grab or to go with someone, but in spanish "take" translates to "tomar" when you mean grabbing something and when you mean to go with someone it translates as "llevar"... i hope i didnt confuse you... i think i even confuse myself here. lol. anyway, you should say: "mi padre nos llevará de vacaciones a España" i didnt get the last part about the money what did you mean?

mi padre nos llevará de vacaciones con algo del dinero - "llevar a alguien de vacaciones: To take someone on a vacation -"Tomarse o cogerse unas vacaciones": to stop working for a time for resting

Gurik is right, Take has two meanings in Spanish. In this case is "llevar"... as for the rest of the sentence is "Mi padre nos llevará de vacaciones a España con parte del dinero". Usually "some" means "algo" or "algún" in Spanish, but since in this sentence "some" is followed by "of" it means that it is part of a whole, thus it must be translated as "parte de"... Cheers...
