Favorite Trips from my Childhood

Since it's practically March, I wanted to ease into Travel Month with a blast from my past.  

Growing up, my family LOVED road trips. (Lately my parents only fly to spectacular, tropical places.  I feel slightly slighted.)  My mom houses all the evidence, but when I was a baby, they drove from NY to AZ with me and my grandparents in a station wagon in the summer with no AC.  It was hard core.

We frequented the somewhat local favorites: Sesame Place, Hershey Park, and The Land of Make Believe.

Back when it really looked like a street.

Was I the only one there?

This pace must have been pretty boring because the only clear memory I have is of the monorail we took form the parking lot to get inside.

But the best by far was when we drove (yes, DROVE- from NY) to Florida to visit grandparents and Mickey!

How did their marriage survive without GPS or Mapquest?

I was crying right before this was taken because I was "too big" and therefor not allowed to sit among the stuffed Mickeys.  My sister was (and still is) an itsy bitsy thing.

I sold hubby on taking the boys to Disney when they are young based on the awesome memories I have of my baby brother being in awe of the "magic".  Please ignore my awesome pre-teen fashion sense.

No trip was EVER complete without a stop here!
