If you are wondering about how to create meaningful and lasting memories during trips with your daughters or sons, you are already heading in the right direction. Simply by asking the question, you are not assuming that what would be fun for you would also be fun for your offspring. A doctor of mine once said that when they’re young, your children follow you in your travels, but as they get older, you start to follow them.

Our family celebrated Christmas Friday, January, 7. In the evening. After my husband returned home from work. We had the unexpected advantage that it snowed most of the day—giving us a white Christmas. We had predetermined that the holiday would be a different kind of event this year, and decided to go to Tampa for several days. I wanted a direct flight someplace warmer, (another unusual request) with a short drive when we arrived.
