I would love to hear about your "Family Vacations" of when you were young with your parents - NOT as adults.
Where did you go, was it in a car, bus, boat? What was the worst, which was the best? I'll start...
My family and I drove (yes in a car...) from Yakima, Washington to Mt. Rushmore. We also stopped a various places along the way including the Devils Tower. My sister and I wore out our cassette tape of "The Judds" as we drove my parents singing every word of every song! Between the fighting with my sister for space in the back seat, I really had the time of my life!
Worst and 2nd best - was when we went to Oceans Shore. I had a lot of fun there, until I got Tonsillitis and we ended up cutting that vacation short. :(
Can't wait to hear from all of you!!

The more appropriate name for Devil's Tower is Bear Lodge......
Or perhaps.......
Carving the likeness of man on Mt. Rushmore or even Crazy Horse MT., for that matter, is the utmost in sacrilegious ego and should be boycotted by anyone who believes in Creator in any form.

My favorites?
Either Mammoth Cave or Cocoa Beach (I think it was Cocoa).
We stayed at a lodge near the cave and during the day I went out on a hike by myself. I was in 8th grade and all alone. I ended up walking many miles out and found a river and rested there for a bit. Then I heard this bird...the sort of bird you hear in the movies when there's some dangerous monster lurking about. It scared me enough to keep moving! Then I ended up hurting my ankle bad while trudging up this high hill when...out of no where...this fawn jumps down behind me about 10 feet away and just stares at me for a minute. No exhaggeration. We stared at eachother for a whole minute before it just ran down the hill more. I just watched it run away and then kept walking. I kept finding small cave entrances littered around but I obviously didn't go in them. But that was the highlight of the trip for me. Oh, and the actual cave was cool too.
Cocoa Beach rocked. I think I was a freshman in HS. My bro and I swam in the ocean then we ate at the huge pier. We heard that there was going to be a shuttle launch that night so we stayed around, but then some clouds came in and they cancelled it. So we ended up walking down the beach. It was dark then...but suddenly the whole sky just turned orange. EVERYTHING lit up. And then in the distance the shuttle took off and everyone was clapping and praising it. It looked like a nuke going off for the first few seconds. I guess the boys at NASA just said "ah screw it let's just launch it".
To anyone who would want to see this-- there's only a few shuttles launching before they retire them! Go see it!

I'll debate MY vacations were better than YOUR vacations! MWAHAHAAA!

I'd have to say my favorite vacation was to Lego Land! That place was absolutely the coolest thing when I was a kid. We got to spend all day looking at the amazing statues they built out of legos, and even play with some myself :)

When I was a kid, we drove all around the country in the back of a Chevy Impala WITHOUT seat belts and the windows rolled up while my parents smoked like chimneys! We camped, fished and hiked along trails that have left wonderful memories embedded in my mind for later recall as I get older.
With my own family, we troll them all around the country in the back of a Ford Expedition WITH seat belts and without the smoke (we don't). We camp, fish, hike and enjoy campfires as a family. I know that we are making great memories for the children and we will do the same with grandchildren one day.

Isn't that amazing! It's funny, kids nowadays think they have it sooo tough. Look at all we lived through, our parents lived through...
Good thing is that we have memories of living and doing things OUTDOORS. It's sad, most kids now don't have that :(
they are always inside!

well i havent been ne where else but lake tomahawk, wis. for vacation. we drive up there almost every year. there are private cabins up there thats right one the shore of pier lake. right across the street is rainbow lake. pier lake is very small compared to rainbow lake. its in between bass lake and another one. i'm sure there is about 4-5 lakes within a 15 mile radius. ne ways, we go up to a cabin. we've been going up there for 5 generations now or 6. my dad wants to go up there every year even though all he seems to want to do is fish. i know fishing is a stress reliever and he needs to de-stress so we dont complain. there is a swimming area but we couldnt swim last year coz the weather was bad. it was raining all week we were there.half of my grandpa's ashes are spread out in that lake. thats where me wanted his ashes spread. we go to the big flea markets in st. germain and the ones around where we stay. we also go to the antique malls around. we go into minocqua to shop at the stores. i wanted to find the toy store (not 5 & dime). there was another one where i bought my man's ty beanie baby dog.i couldnt find it last year, i wondered if it went out of buisness. ne way, last year was my neice's first time up there since she was born. she was only a couple months old so she wont remember it but at least we can tell her she went.

This place looks like fun! I live near Chicago and like going up to WI. I've added this place to my "Places to GO!" favorites folder. Thanks, dude.

My favorite vacation was a weird one, my parents were stressed out and wanted to get away to forget everything so we loaded in the car and drove for a couple of hours taking new routes never knowing which way we were going the whole weekend, stayed at a hotel in a town we never heard of and reconnected with each other. At first we thought our parents had gone looney, they acted like kids the whole time, but the end of the weekend we were very sad to go home!

One year we drove to Tennessee and went to the grand ol opray. It was so much fun. We also went to Dollywood that year in Pigeon Forge. We had a blast driving down and staying for almost a week. I would love to relive it again. I believe I was about 14 or so.
