Favorite Vacation Memory July 28, 2010

Once upon a time, seven people went on an adventure…or what some might call a vacation. Growing up with lots of siblings, our vacations usually were trips to go visit the grandparents and other relatives. We have many wonderful, wonderful memories from our grandparents’ homes. There’s nothing like those cookouts and times of singing around the piano, sledding on the snowy hills or down a rushing river. I love and really cherish those memories as a family…

But one vacation, however, we decided to tack on a few days of sightseeing before visiting with all the family. So we flew into Boston. Now, I love history. I love OUR American history. So this city was, for me, like stepping back in time. There were no cars and honking horns, no electric lights…just Paul Revere and Shakespeare plays on the Boston Commons. And one of my favorite memories from that week is of our family driving around, sightseeing, and listening to our favorite music full blast.

As Debi said in her post last week, sometimes it IS the really simple and unplanned things that have the most effect on us.
