I'm checking it twice.
And then again.
I wrote up a list of all my vacations. I did this for a couple of reasons.
The first reason is that there have many so many vacations now for 44 + years that it is almost impossible to put a year on a certain trip. The second reason is that sometimes I want a photo to use or to look at and if I can tie that photo to a vacation . . . tie it to a year, I can find the pic quicker as I have all my digital photographs and a lot of scanned photograhs saved to a "travel drive", saved by year and mostly saved by date. Sometimes they are saved under more of a title.
Needless to say then, for the last 4 or 5 days, I have relived a lot of memories and family vacations. In order to validate my list, I have looked at digital photos and photo in photograph albums and for a few of the vacations, I even have a written journal. Wow! the miles I've traveled and the memories I have revisited. I have had a great ol' time!
I think now I need to go back and reconstruct the vacations of my childhood. Wish me luck! and bon voyage!

Erica, we did another Boone Valley Railroad. Do you remember what year? Plus there were many trips to KC and more to Urbana. I listed 2 to Urbana that included side trips. Anyway! I am open to suggestions and recollections! Bring it on : )
Wow, that is pretty impressive. . . yes we were in Boone at least twice for the train but I don't remember the years?? And you and I went to Urbana but I'm not sure on that date either. I should probably start my list now so I don't forget!!
Yes, Erica, better start your list now.
