What was my most memorable vacation?
Wow! There have been so many! I have had the pleasure and good fortune to be able to go some places most people only dream about and for that I am very thankful.
I have been to London, Paris, a cruise to Key West and Cozumel and also to New York. All were great trips and memories that I will cherish forever.
But I think my two favorite trips have been to Orlando. And not because Orlando is any great city--it seems to constantly be under construction. But because they were family trips.
In 2002, we took the kids to Disney and Universal. We went to Magic Kingdom, took a day to rest, went to Universal Studios, took a day to rest and then went to Animal Kingdom. We had the most fabulous time. We just relaxed and took things day by day. We weren't stressed or hurried and the kids had a great time. We also got to see a Braves game while there and at the time Dylan was big into baseball.
Just this past March, 12 years later, we went back. Only this time we did Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure (Harry Potter) and Epcot. The kids are older/grown and appreciated the thrill rides and a bit more of the educational aspect of the trip. Once again, we had a great time. No hurry, no stress. Just laughter and fun.
I'm glad to have been able to give them some happy memories.
