Big Family Vacations

Over the past 10 years, we have gone on a few big family vacations with my Mom’s side of the family. A lot of planning goes into each trip, but the memories make all the sacrifices worth it in the end!

Our first big family vacation was to Puerto Rico. My Grandparents were both born in Puerto Rico and grew up there until they were teenagers. We spent one day up in the mountains. The views were stunning!

We stayed at a nice resort on the ocean with lots of palm trees, swimming pools, and things for us kids to do.

Our primary reason for visiting was to meet our 90-year-old Great Grandmother. Lord willing, we will visit her again in the next year or so.

One day in Puerto Rico, we took a ferry out to Old San Juan and toured the town. Here we are in front of the old fort and cemetery. It was fascinating to see! As you can probably judge from the photo, it was HOT! We walked several miles that day in the hot, humid heat.

A few years later, our families went to Disney World for a week. We spent a day in Epcot to start off our trip.

Another day was spent at the Kennedy Space Center. We were able to see the Discovery getting ready for a trip to the International Space Station.

For us kids, probably our favorite day was the one spent at Magic Kingdom. We loved going on all of the rides!

We returned to Epcot another day to tour the world showcase. Here we are in front of the Norway exhibit.

At England, we visited with Winnie the Pooh and friends! This was a big highlight for the little guys. J

Our family recently returned from yet another extended family vacation. I’ll give you a few photo clues, and you try to guess where we went! Ok, where can you look out over a city . . .

. . . eat amazing foods like roasted lamb with wasabi mashed potatoes. . .

. . . dress up in gala clothes and attend a party. . .

. . . go boogie boarding. . .
