The Best Vacation Ever...
As a child my parents took us on many family vacations. I would have to say that those were some of my favorite childhood memories. My 1st airplane ride to Denver, trips to the cabin, the Grand Canyon, family camp, Disneyland, Sea World, a drive to Michigan, San Diego & Coronado Island. I am sure there were many more.
In May 2006, our family (now 15 instead of 5) went to Coronado Island. We stayed at a beautiful beach house for an entire week. All 15 of us cooked together, ate together & played together. We played on the beach. My dad built a sand sculpture with the grandkids just as I remember as a child. The kids buried him to his neck in sand and he loved every minute of it (ok, maybe not the sand in his ears). I enjoyed watching the waves roll in and finding sea shells. It was very relaxing. We also went rollerblading & went for walks down to the historical Hotel del Coronado. We even took an adventure to San Diego on a ferry boat to go shopping at Sea Port Village. Another day we spontaneously went to Sea World. My sisters & our husbands enjoyed late night poker, talks and a lot of laughter. My mom & dad read the kids their favorite bedtime story "I Love You This Much!" After the whole week we spent together, no one wanted to leave. Our family is truly unique, we love eachother and have fun together.

I am so blessed to have such wonderful parents. They have created such amazing memories not only for their children but their grandchildren. This was a family vacation that we will never forget. I hope we have many more family vacations. I cannot thank them enough for this time we shared together.
