Our family often rented a tiny cottage at the beach in Door County, Wisconsin for a week in the summertime. My dad spent his childhood summers there and wanted to create the same happy memories for us! It looks like your family trip to Wiiliamsburg was great fun for everyone! I just love all of the happy smiles! Your grandsons are really growing up right before our eyes! Wishing you happy August days, dear one! ��hereDawn Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07565958992415114053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-68588593225654847442016-07-26T07:42:30.062-04:002016-07-26T07:42:30.062-04:00Patti, I'm sure your children have fond memori...Patti, I'm sure your children have fond memories of the beaches in Florida. My family loves the beach. We all look forward to our annual trip to the glorious ocean. It's really something to behold! I didn't take vacations with my grandparents either. There are many fond memories of being with my grandmothers, though.<br />Enjoy your day, Patti. ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-85539955043932050002016-07-26T00:25:02.644-04:002016-07-26T00:25:02.644-04:00What a grand time for all of you.

We didn't often take vacations with the grandparents when I was growing up...only twice, I think. However, we lived within walking distance of one another, so we saw them often. <br /><br />Before we moved to Idaho, we lived in Florida, so my kids spent the first 8 and 10 years of their lives going to the beach all the time. Now we are in a landlocked state, and we really miss the ocean. We have such fantastic memories from our times at various Florida beaches.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Patti<br /><br />Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948766889057998160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-85710957440496694202016-07-25T14:06:54.749-04:002016-07-25T14:06:54.749-04:00Jan we are cooking here!

You certainly are making memories like the ones you have as a child. I think it's interesting how special places we went as kids in the summer--even for only a week or two, have such big space in our memories! Our only vacation was visits to our grandparents' houses, but boy do I remember them as special times.podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-18918342128055021292016-07-23T16:48:59.550-04:002016-07-23T16:48:59.550-04:00I see the enthusiasm in the boys!
