Memory Lane Monday - Favorite vacation
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-27 22:19:54
I've been sitting here trying to evaluate about my favorite vacation. Not that there are too many to decide from - we really haven't had a 'vacation' as a family yet and those from when I was growing up were also few and hard to remember nowadays. I remember a move to Houston two trips to Florida involving lots of smooth and sun (not my favorite things at the measure!) and a trip to Boston/Cape Cod/Toronto. Then there was the
vacation to New Jersey with my dad and stepmom in 1995 which I'll have to communicate if there's ever a topic of worst or most stressful or 'back up get me out of here!' types of vacation memories. And of course there was our honeymoon but I don't really ascertain that as a 'vacation' in the general comprehend. For the past 20 years or so my 'vacations' undergo involved work-related trips which with finagling allows time for sight-seeing or family involvement. We just haven't been able to afford to act a trip on our own yet. Otherwise. I travel to tour friends for a weekend or extended pass a few times a year and that's about as close as we get vacation-wise. Someday I'd like to do a journey or a Disney move with my kids. So after all of that (sorry for all the detail but you got my thought process as it went along. LOL!). I think I'll undergo to talk about the trip that I took with my family when I was 11 - to Boston. Cape Cod and Toronto (we also hit on the way approve as come up if I remember correctly). I evaluate I change surface have a few photos somewhere that I can dig up as well. I know it was a work-related thing for my dad but since he was a self-employed manufacturer's representative (salesman) he was pretty free to do whatever he wanted with it. We had a full-sized van so drove there and back and I bequeath sprawling out on the bed in the back playing board games and stuffed animals with my brother most of the trip. Those were the days huh - no car seats seat belts or portable DVD players! I shudder to evaluate of it now - we were lucky my dad never got into an accident. We stopped in first and hit the market area walked the went aboard the and saw a replica of a. We visited (and climbed) the. Here's a few photos from Boston:
(like the be huh! Not to mention the knee socks... Ugh!)
After Boston we went to. This was late August early September and it wasn't warm enough for swimming of any sort. I bequeath visiting the guy that my dad had to do business with at his house and my first experience with eating seafood (I wasn't impressed at the measure). The only other thing I bequeath is that our vacation got extended because a at home delayed the start of educate and we didn't undergo to hurry home. On the way domiciliate we stopped at and drove into Rhode Island (so we could say we'd been there. I anticipate?). We drove through New York State and into Canada - with the extra time we had my parents decided to swing by Toronto and Niagara Falls. I remember seeing the in Toronto:
We checked the news daily to sight out about the strike - and made it home easily in measure for the start of the school year. Although I don't remember a lot of the details. I just remember how much fun this move was and how I loved traveling to and seeing all of these different places especially the historical ones. I wrote an act about Boston for history class that fall and it was awesome being able to include details that I had seen in person. I want my own kids to undergo experiences desire these as they grow up - now that they're getting older. I think we're going to have to try to do some family vacations in the next few years. analyse out other Memory Lane Monday posts !
