When to take a week off

[machine528]

Just looking for some opinions on the frequency that you guys take a week off. When i first started training i hated taking time off, but i have no doubt that working out for 15-20 weeks without a week off definatly hurt my gains. I have been taking a week off every 7-8 weeks and have been liking the results. Also during your weeks off what do you guys do to pass the time?
