Lots of things I think we can all relate to from our own childhoods ~ the stationwagon, beach combing, sweet Disney memories, and creative solutions to the pre cell phone communications conundrums.

I don't have awesome memo...Hey Willoughby! : ) <br />I don't have awesome memories of a vacation in our station wagon, but when I was around 7 my mom, sister and I drove across country in ours. We were moving from NH to AZ. It was an incredible trip, we stayed at KOA's along the way and my sister and I camped out in the back with pillows, a cooler, and travel games. We saw a bunch of sites along the way... and my sister and I would make signs for other cars.... mostly saying HONK (in some form or another!)!! : )<br />It wasn't the 70's but I think it was 82... so close! : )<br />I can't imagine making that same trip today with all the carseats we have. Back then we were in our own little world back there! <br />Thanks for jogging those memories by sharing yours! : )thamesarinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982297941396651473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-78335035512243322662010-07-31T13:23:28.484-07:002010-07-31T13:23:28.484-07:00I have been afraid of Mickey and Minnie Mouse for ...I have been afraid of Mickey and Minnie Mouse for my whole life. Obviously untrustworthy . . . .<br /><br />We made a trip to Disney World in the mid-seventies, and my dad the trip planner clearly had no idea what he was heading into. He scheduled h-a-l-f a d-a-y for us to enjoy the Magic Kingdom -- then we got back in the car and headed home. What was he thinking?<br /><br />This was in the days of the E-ticket (a cultural reference that is just gone now) and pre-Epcot.<br /><br />Sure is a different trip now!<br /><br />Another great post!Liz in Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01255930581089283782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-73258706593199588532010-07-31T05:04:39.794-07:002010-07-31T05:04:39.794-07:00What terrific vacation memories!

But I always remember the inevitable blizzard we'd have to drive through to visit my dad's folks in ND. <br /><br />Yeah, Minnie does look kind of shifty now that you mention it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169693305157071792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-27033340913363908682010-07-30T08:46:44.806-07:002010-07-30T08:46:44.806-07:00Those seem like pretty vivid memories for having b...Those seem like pretty vivid memories for having been so young. We moved when we I was four and I remember our station wagon loaded with stuff and looking at our apartment as we left but I don't seem to recall much from Year 5 of my life.L.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932409909043501781noreply@blogger.com
