Summer Vacation
As a kid, I loved the family vacations we used to take. They were never extravagant, but we always had fun. I am trying to give my child the same kind of fun and excitement I experienced as a child on vacation. This year, I let him choose where we went and what we did. I gave him options like Space Camp in Huntsville, AL, Washington DC, going to the beach, or visiting Grandma & Grandpa. Surprisingly, he chose Camp Grandma and Grandpa. His top memories were visiting a baby elephant, hiking in the Cuyahoga National Forest, riding a train, and golfing with Grandpa. He had a great time. I think it’s important to build those memories, even if the destination isn’t typical. Where you able to take a vacation this year? What did you do or where did you go?

Mountain vacations always calm the spirit and allow for more family bonding time I’ve found. It’s amazing how drawn into conversations those around you become when there is not a cell phone or “must watch” show on the TV.
