Cocoa Swap Topic 3 & 4

Topic 3 :
What is the most 'random' memory you have from your childhood? I know it's not knitting content, but I love learning about the little quirks and interesting things about people!

What I remember most is one Christmas time when I was about 4 or 5 and I had gotten a tea set and table/chair set. I remember my daddy playing tea with me, even though it was just water.
I also remember during the thunder & lightening storms that I was always glue to the door to watch them, use to drive my mom nuts as she tried to keep us away from the doors or windows during the storms. Now a days and being out here in the desert, if theirs a storm brewing, I'm outside, don't know what it is, but love to watch the lightening and listen to the thunder!

Topic 4:
What is your most memorable vacation? Where did you go? What made it memorable?

Growing up my parents did vacation time every summer usually about end of July, beginning August. We use to go to Ohio every year to see dads side of the family. (We lived in New Jersey). One year they decided to take a trip with the Boy Scouts going to Disney in Florida!Disney World, Disney Land..always get the 2 confused..lol This was in 74, before the Epcot Center cause they were building it while we were there. We camped out the whole time and it was a bus trip down, which my Uncle was the driver. We had a blast even with the bus breaking down. I remember on the way home we broke down in one of the Carolina's. They let us camp out on their Baseball field, as it was the only place big enough for all our tents. We had to be off by a certain time in the morning as they had a game or something going on the next morning, but the town was great to us and helped out alot! It was mostly being with family, but also I was able to take a girlfriend along! We had a blast!

Now if your talking since being married I'd have to go with the year we were stationed in Chesapeake, VA and a few of us instead of going to the Wall In DC like we did every year, one year we rode to Coneac Lake, PA. That was an iron butt ride and a cold camp out..lol but hey, we got to see Willy Nelson in concert and spent the time with good friend camping out by the fire and when not walking around the amusement park, we were riding the rides! We did have our oldest son at the time with us and that's one weekend I didn't have to worry about what he was up too. You see, Harley Davidson had their new line of bikes there and you could sign one out and ride it, well, my son borrowed my helmet and gloves and spent the whole weekend riding! He test rode every bike they had there from sun up to sundown..lol
We miss that group, not a better bunch of friends to ride with. Live to Ride, Ride to eat! (no matter where we rode, it started or ending with a meal)
