Taking a break is fine, but it might be best to think about what kind of grad degree and what one would like to do with it, during those intervening years. It's also a good idea to stay in contact with people that could help, for example, people who might write letters of recommendation. Ideally, between undergrad and grad, one should also be compiling info on programs of interest at particular universities, etc. Of course, easier said than done.
