Throwback Thursday- Family Vacation Edition

Growing up, my family took many family vacations. I know it was a sacrifice for us to go, but my parents always wanted the best for us. We enjoyed being together and experiencing many neat places wherever we went...

This was one of many trips to Colorado where we loved to snow ski. This particular trip was with our church youth group.

I think you and I had the exact same childhood! We vacationed in Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, you name it.... Vacationing is still my VERY favorite past time. When I think of having kids, traveling is the first, most exciting thing I can think of doing with them. We should plan a trip for the 5 of us!!! : )

Oh, what fun memories!! I about started crying. (might be b/c of the lack of sleep) I made Drew look at all the pictures & told him I can't wait to take family vacations. I asked him if he could wait & he said yes b/c he wants to wait until the kids are old enough to remember the vacations. Those are definitely some of the best memories!! Thanks Mom & Dad!
