vacation here we come ....

today we began our search for a hotel close to sea world.

we are going on vacation next week. i am so excited for so many reasons. when i was little we never had much money. my dad was a salesman and my mom was a nurse. now you may be thinking that sounds like a good living to me, but i have six, yes six brothers and sisters. that is a total of nine living in a three bed room house. it was crowded but my parents made it work. but my parents made sure we always had a great christmas( not like kids have it today) and a vacation every year. we always took great vacations. my parents would save their income tax check and we would go for a week of camping in various K.O.A.'s.(kampers of america) does anyone out there remember koa's. we would go all over the western part of the united states. (utah, new mexico, nevada, colorado) we had such fun. we have been kind of looking for a camper trailer so we could continue the tradition. david said, that was the way they vacationed when they were little too. isn't that cool, God not only gave my the best man for me, but he also allowed us to have some of the same experiences as children. That God!!!

anyway we are going to take the girls to sea world and they are so excited. we are only going to stay for 2 nights and 3 days, we have spent so much money on our air conditioner and plumbing this summer, our vacation is going to be short. oh, don't get me wrong i am not complaining. i feel blessed that we can take time at all. i remmeber the days when we couldn't do anything.

i will try to have some good pictures and plenty of good stories for you.

Camping is our very favorite thing to do. Just ask Jo what her favorite vacation spots were. I grew up going to six flags and 2 weeks in creede, colorado every summer of my life. We had a travel trailer since mattie was a baby until they were grown. Spent spring breaks at the blanco river and maybe another week at blanco in the summer and "Fun Valley" Colorado for 2 weeks in the summer amongst other adventures our little camper took us on. We actually had "friends reunions" we had all scattered and we would meet with our campers for a week every summer. Such memories...

KOA's, my aunt and uncle owned one!
