Is this sentence natural? I went to {place name} on vacation and shopping with my family two years ago.

Hey. You're really close. You need to change 'and shopping' to 'and shopped' for it to be gramatically correct. To my ear it feels like 'two years ago' should come at the start of the sentence to be more natural, but others might disagree.

It's almost right. You need to change and shopping to either and went shopping or and shopped. You could also play around with the sentence structure to make it sound more natural. I would say: Two years ago my family and I went on vacation to (place name) and went shopping. Hope that helps.

It is maybe a little strange because going on holiday is something people do once or twice a year, while they might go shopping every day. Two years ago I went to ( ) on holiday with my family. While we were there we did a lot of shopping. Or ... we bought a lot of local products. ... we enjoyed looking around the local shops/markets.

My thoughts: Two years ago I was on holiday in xxxxxx and I went shopping with my family . The sentence really needs a bit more adding to make more sense. I would add and I went shopping with my family , to the local shopping centre.
